Dr. Cameron feels that the best way to get to know Lyme disease is through reviewing actual cases. In this Inside Lyme Podcast episode, he will be discussing a 15-year-old boy with severe cardiac problems associated with Lyme disease.

Nawrocki and his colleague first discussed this case in the Air Medical Journal in 2018.

His friends immediately called 911. They were not sure how long he was unconscious. The boy was pale with a heart rate of 300 beats per minute, according to the medics. 

He required synchronized cardioversion. He was flown to a cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) at a children's tertiary care hospital via rotary-wing aircraft staffed with two flight nurses.

Doctors suspected Lyme disease and prescribed intravenous ceftriaxone. He had three additional episodes of ventricular tachycardia. He was cardioverted twice.

But after several days of intravenous antibiotics, the boy’s heart block gradually resolved, and the pacemaker was removed.
