Abstract
This case report describes a patient with an intravascular infection of a pacemaker system with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which occurred 17 years after the implantation. The patient was treated with appropriate antibiotics and debridement of the infectious tissue in the pocket, and the entire pacemaker system was removed by open heart surgery. She was discharged from our center after a 6-week course of antibiotics and implantation of a new pacemaker. (c) 2007 S. Karger AG, BaselEntities:
