摘要：The incidence of CIED (Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices) infections is 0.13％-8.0％.[1,2] Fungal organisms account for up to 10％ and Aspergillus infections are extremely rare.Here,we present a case of CIED-related Aspergillus infection in an immunocompetent patient.
A 53-year-old man with past medical history notable for poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus,persistent left superior vena cava,status post permanent pace maker placement for sick sinus syndrome came to our hospital for routine evaluation of his device.Interrogation of his device revealed a recent increase in his atrial pacing threshold (3.5 v/0.4 ms) and several episodes of non-capture.During the initial attempt to replace his generator,he was found to have a large amount of cheese-like necrotic material in his generator pocket.
