Abstract
Propafenone is an antiarrhythmic drug used in the treatment of life-th reatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Adverse reactions necessitatin g discontinuation of the medication are common. Propafenone-induced dr ug fever has not been definitively proven. We present a case report of drug fever secondary to propafenone, confirmed with rechallenge.
