Sumario:We report the case of a 41‐year‐old human with third‐degree atrioventricular block caused due to intoxication with water concoction prepared from Rhododendron leaves. Such poisoning is rare. It is prone to arrhythmia with hemodynamic instability and is confused with various diseases. For these reasons, the correct diagnosis and treatment of this poisoning are particularly important. We confirmed it by analyzing the remaining liquid carried by the family members. After symptomatic and supportive treatment, the patient was discharged uneventfully.
