Mycobacterium fortuitum causing infection of a biventricular pacemaker/implantable cardioverter defibrillator

Mycobacterium fortuitum causing infection of a biventricular pacemaker/implantable cardioverter defibrillator

Increased utilization of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) has seen a corresponding rise in related infections. Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are rarely the cause. Treatment involves susceptibilities, antimicrobials, and device removal. This study presents a patient who unde...
