Core Tip	Seventeen-year man presented with acute chest discomfort following a tick bite 5 wk back. His hospital course was complicated with the development of first degree AV block which rapidly deteriorated to total AV block. Due to high grade of suspicion of lyme disease and positive lyme enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Lyme IgM (Western blotting), treatment with Ceftriaxone and doxycycline was started with complete remission. It is important to consider the reversible causes of complete AV block since appropriate therapy can avoid the need for permanent pacemaker insertion.
