Introduction: Most patients with AV Block III° require a permanent pacemaker. Rarely, AVB III° is reversible.
Case Report: We report the case of a 67-years-old patient with AVB III° and positive borellia serology. He was treated with a third-generation cephalosporin. There was a resolution of AV Block III° to AV Block I°.
Conclusion: Lyme carditis is rare. However, it is a reversible cause of AV Block and should be considered in case of a specific patient history to avoid unnecessary pacemaker implantation.
Keywords: Lyme carditis; AV block III°; Reversible AV block
