Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by coved ST segment elevation in the right precordial lead (V1‐V3). Previous reports have described type‐1 or type‐2 Brugada ECG pattern as a Brugada phenocopy (BrP) in various clinical condition and once the etiology is resolved, the BrP ECG pattern normalizes. We describe a case report of type‐1 Brugada ECG pattern in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and active pulmonary tuberculosis, which developed to spontaneous pneumopericardium and pericarditis. The coexistence of type‐1 Brugada ECG pattern with spontaneous pneumopericardium and pericarditis is an extremely rare pathological condition that has not been previously described.
