title: [Irreversible auriculo-ventricular block of viral origin].
abstract: Transitory disturbances of atrioventricular conduction are an usual feature of the acute phase of viral myocarditis. In contrast, the onset of complete heart block is rarer. The authors report a case of permanent heart block of progressive onset in a context of infectious mononucleosis in a 29-year-old male, requiring fitting with a permanent pacemaker. A long term follow-up visit confirmed the irreversible nature of the conduction disturbance.
