Cardiac device infection due to Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Theresa T Liu1, Pablo B Nery, David Birnie, Peter Jessamine, Kathryn N Suh.   

Abstract

Cardiac device infections (CDIs) are recognized complications of device implantation. Most CDIs are caused by skin flora but can also result from hematogenous seeding of the device. A case involving Streptococcus pneumoniae CDI, which is rare, potentially vaccine preventable and may not be associated with overt antecedent pneumococcal infection, is reported.
