Abstract
A 22-year-old man with incessant ventricular tachycardia􀊢VT􀊣associated with pneumococcal meningitis
without obvious heart disease manifesting as febrile sensation and severe headache visited our emergency
department. Initial electrocardiography showed ventricular premature couplets, but the rhythm grew more
serious and developed into incessant monomorphic VT resulting in an electrical storm. After examining
the cerebrospinal fluid, bacterial meningitis was suspected. The electrical storm ended 21 hr after he had
received conservative treatment for meningitis. Streptococcus pneumonia was cultured from the cerebrospinal
fluid. No VT was observed during the remainder of the hospital stay and could not be induced in
the electrophysiological study.
