cord-312835-a60bkohc	Kohli, Utkarsh	Fulminant myocarditis and atrial fibrillation in child with acute COVID-19	2020-10-18		.txt	text/plain	833	60	37	COVID-19 has manifested with ventricular dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmias, most commonly atrial fibrillation (AFib), in adults. We report a 15 year-old girl with acute COVID-19, fulminant myocarditis and AFib. Serum pro-NT BNP, inflammatory markers and high sensitivity troponin concentration were all markedly elevated (Supplement 1). While ventricular dysfunction and the whole gamut of arrhythmias have been reported in adults with acute COVID-19 [1] , pediatric patients have either been asymptomatic or have mostly manifested with mild respiratory illness [2] . Rare pediatric patients with COVID-19 have presented with ventricular dysfunction [3] ; however, arrhythmias such as AFib, which are exceedingly rare in otherwise healthy children, have not been reported in children with acute COVID-19 [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] . In a recently published single center pediatric series (n=36), nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (n=5) and sustained atrial tachycardia (n=1) were noted in approximately 17 % of children with acute COVID-19.	./cache/cord-312835-a60bkohc.txt	./txt/cord-312835-a60bkohc.txt
