Prompt treatment with digoxin specific Fab fragment antibodies may be lifesaving in the treatment of toad venom poisoning. This case report alerts physicians to the need to be aware of this rare toxin. Keywords: toad venom intoxiacation; third-degree AV block; digoxin specific fab fragment antibodies.
