A woman aged 74 years with an implanted dual-chamber pacemaker presented with pacemaker site infection after failing empiric antimicrobial therapy. The pathogen was later identified as Mycobacterium goodii, a rapidly growing mycobacteria species. The pacemaker was subsequently removed and the patient was treated with oral ciprofloxacin and doxycycline with clinical improvement. In this article, we describe a rare case of pacemaker site infection by M. goodii.

“…Another case reported by Marchandin et al 3 documents successful treatment without the removal of pacemaker but with combination of intravenous ofloxacin and oral doxycycline for 6 months. Here, we document successful treatment with 6 months of therapy with oral ciprofloxacin and doxycycline and removal of the infected device.…”

“…The infection occurred between 8 days and 20 years from the last device related procedure. It occurred with both transvenous [17, 18, 20–22, 24–27, 30, 31, 33–39] and epicardial device implantations [19, 23, 28, 29, 32]. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was reported in seven cases [18, 23, 28, 31, 36] with mostly pocket infection.…”

Cardiac implantable electronic device infection due to Mycobacterium species: a case report and review of the literature

et al. 2016

BackgroundInfection of cardiac implantable electronic devices is a serious cardiovascular disease and it is associated with a high mortality. Mycobacterium species may rarely cause cardiac implantable electronic devices infection.Case presentationWe are reporting a case of miliary tuberculosis in an Arab patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and a cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator device that was complicated with infection of his cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator device. To our knowledge, this is the third case in the literature with such a presentation and all patients died during the course of treatment. This underscores the importance of early diagnosis and management. We also performed a literature review of reported cases of cardiac implantable electronic devices infection related to Mycobacterium species.ConclusionsCardiac implantable electronic devices infection due to Mycobacterium species is an uncommon but a well-known entity. Early diagnosis and prompt management may result in a better outcome.

A 46-year-old Caucasian female was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma of the left breast. She underwent mastectomy and placement of a silicone breast implant as a single-stage procedure. Two weeks after surgery, she developed erythema and drainage to the postoperative site, necessitating removal of the breast implant. Operative cultures grew Mycobacterium goodii. She was successfully treated with a three month course of moxifloxacin and doxycyline. M. goodii should be in the differential of postoperative wound infections, including breast implants.
