Respiratory syncytial virus infection is the most common cause of hospital admissions in children under 1 year of age. Various cardiac dysrrhythmias have been reported to be associated with respiratory syncytial virus infection. We report a case where both tachyarrhythmia and bradyarrhythmia occurred within the same illness. Paediatricians need to be aware of this association.
