The authors report a case of a patient with schistosomiasis (S. mansoni) treated with one single dose (15 mg/kg/BWT) of oral oxamniquine who presented Mobitz type I second-degree AV block and sinus arrest with ventricular escape as a side-effect. They conclude that in spite of the safety and good activity of oxamniquine it may be a determinant of cardiotoxicity.
