A case of a 33-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital due to recurrent ventricular fibrillation during a febrile illness is presented. Initially, the patient was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction and received thrombolytic treatment. Echocardiography and coronary angiography were normal.
