Abstract

The world is facing a new pandemic – SARS-CoV-2 infection. Fever is one of the most common presentations of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
We bring you the case of a 61-year-old female which Brugada syndrome was uncovered presumably for the first-time during fever caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Fever due to SARS-CoV-2 infection may uncover Brugada syndrome, therefore attention must be paid to the electrocardiogram when the patients present with lipotimia/syncope.
