Özet
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in newborn infants. RSV can cause cardiac arrhythmias. We present a case of a term newborn with supraventricular tachycardia that developed during RSV infection and was successfully treated with amiodarone. RSV infection increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmia due to its course and the agents used in the treatment; therefore, close cardiac monitoring is required.
