Key result
A 42-year-old male with a 4-day history of fever presented with a type II Brugada pattern on electrocardiogram, demonstrating that fever is a potent stimulus for exposing this condition.
Why the study?
Brugada syndrome is frequently overlooked due to its dynamic nature and can progress to deadly ventricular arrhythmias; this study aimed to describe the diagnosis and management of fever-induced Brugada pattern electrocardiogram.

Fever may unmask Brugada patterns on ECG; leaves open whether systematic screening during illness improves risk stratification.
Case Report (n=1)
Fever is a potent trigger that can unmask a concealed Brugada pattern on ECG, highlighting the need for prompt recognition by emergency physicians to prevent fatal arrhythmias.
Nugraha et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Brugada pattern electrocardiogram (n=1). Fever was evaluated on Electrocardiogram findings. A 42-year-old male with a 4-day history of fever presented with a type II Brugada pattern on electrocardiogram, demonstrating that fever is a potent stimulus for exposing this condition.
