| Core Tip |
Torsades de pointes (TdP) is a life-threatening arrhythmia and may be caused by congenital long QT syndrome (cLQTS) or acquired LQTS (aLQTS). Meanwhile, aLQTS may share a similar genetic background with cLQTS. Here, we present a case of TdP episode during the combination of antibiotics for high-grade fever of unexplained origin before a confirmed diagnosis of Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD). This case study highlights the importance of early diagnosis of AOSD, the key role of systemic inflammatory activation and the risk of antibiotic-induced TdP/LQTS onset. Genetic analysis should be considered to identify high-risk population of developing TdP. |
