. Ghosh, A. and McCandless, A. E. (Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liver pool, England). “Injury Pattern” following paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in a child. Acta Paediatr Scand, 63:783, 1974.—Electrocardiograms recorded after the control of a prolonged attack of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia lasting for five days in a child showed T wave inversion, notching and prolonged duration of P wave and an “injury pattern”. These electrocardiographic changes described mostly in adults are uncommon in children. Antibody titre of mumps rose from 1/40 after admission to 1/320 thirteen days later suggesting recent mumps infection. Mumps mywarditis may have caused paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in this child.
