Abstract

Mycobacterial infection of implantable cardiac devices is rare, and infection of pacing system components with M. tuberculosis has been reported on only three previous occasions, involving epicardial pacing systems in two cases. We report here a pocket infection with M. tuberculosis in a transvenous biventricular defibrillator.
