1.Introduction
In 1992, Spanish cardiologists Pedro, Josep and Roman Brugada described
for the first time Brugada syndrome (BrS) as a pattern of ST segment
elevation in right precordial EKG leads with a high incidence of
unexplained cardiac arrest (UCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in
patients with structurally normal hearts (1). They also mentioned that
BrS is an autosomal dominant genetically predisposed. Therefore, in case
of diagnosed UCA or SCD, first-degree relatives are advised to be
screened for cardiac abnormalities (2). The characteristic ECG changes
of the Brugada pattern could be sometimes transient or variable over
time. There are some known provoking factors such as fever, medications,
and toxins (3). In this case we are presenting a fever induced Brugada
syndrome in patients with a family history of sudden cardiac death.
