Very rare electrocardiograph abnormalities in meningitis

Abstract

Osborn waves are produced when the J-point deviates from baseline. While there are many known causes of Osborne waves, hypothermia remains the most common. We report electrocardiographic changes with osrborn wave in a 32-year-old woman with fatal meningoencephalitis, potentially reversible, probably non-ischaemic myocardial dysfunction may occur in association with acute non cardiac illnesses, such as brain injuries or severe infections. The mechanisms of the Electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities in this disease are unclear.
