Brugada-Like Electrocardiographic Changes during Influenza Infection

We describe a 32-year-old man with electrocardiographic (ECG) changes consistent with Brugada syndrome and influenza virus infection. The ECG pattern changed after 1 week to one of early repolarization in V1 and V2. This case suggests an association between Brugada syndrome and viral infection.
