Key result
Dengue fever can unmask hidden Brugada syndrome in asymptomatic patients.
Why the study?
Understanding the circumstances that lead to the unmasking of hidden Brugada syndrome is essential for clinicians and patients to ensure prompt medical attention.
Case Report (n=1)
Dengue fever can serve as a trigger to unmask asymptomatic Brugada syndrome, emphasizing the importance of ECG monitoring in such febrile patients.
Alerts clinicians to Brugada unmasking triggers; hypothesis-generating without prospective validation.
Key Clinical Message: Understanding the circumstances, leading to unmasking of hidden Brugada syndrome is essential for the practicing clinician and the patients so that they are informed adequately to seek prompt medical attention. Abstract: Brugada syndrome is a genetic arrhythmia syndrome characterized by a coved type of ST-segment elevation in the ECG. The patients are usually asymptomatic, with unmasking of the disease under certain conditions. We are reporting the case of a patient diagnosed with Brugada syndrome, which was unmasked during an attack of dengue fever.

Sivanandam et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Brugada syndrome and dengue fever (n=1). Dengue fever was evaluated on Unmasking of Brugada syndrome. Dengue fever can act as a trigger to unmask hidden Brugada syndrome in an otherwise asymptomatic patient.
