title: Symptomatic high grade heart block in Lyme disease.
abstract: We describe an unusual and remediable form of heart block which developed in the course of Lyme disease. The diagnosis of Lyme disease requires a careful clinical history pertaining to epidemiologic geography or a history of erythema chronicum migrans. In this case, a highly selective cardiac abnormality responded promptly to systemic steroids.
