bacterial infection of pacemaker in patients with endocarditis
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: the advancement of technology in recent decades has been lead to use the electrophysiology cardiac devices. although these devices are used increasingly, but the frequency of subclinical infection is unknown. we investigate bacterial infections due to implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icds) in patients with endocarditis. m aterials and methods: population of the study was considered among all adult patients in whom the cardiac electrophysiology device was removed. associated infection endocarditis defined by the duke criteria. 35 pacemakers (pm) were aseptically removed from these patients during january 2012 to november 2014. intraoperative swabs from the different part of devices were collected, cultured in bhi (brain heart infusion broth) and then bacterial classical cultures were done under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. biochemical and differential media were used to detect the bacteria species. data analysis was performed by using spss version 16 software. r es ults: 13 cases of 35 patients with endocarditis diagnosed by modified duke criteria and removed pacemaker had positive culture. of the 13 cases with infection 43% were identified as gram positive and 57% had gram negative bacteria. c onclusion: based on our study and similar studies, bacteria can colonize in electrophysiology devices which can lead to bacterial infections.

Pacemaker lead endocarditis with hiccups (Kalayci)
Background: Lead-related infections that might develop after pacemaker implantation associated with high mortality and morbidity rates are challenging to manage and pose high-cost. Patients with lead-related infections usually present with fever, chills and fatigue and the treatment can be challenging unless the implant system is extracted. Case presentation: A 66-year old male patient who und...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial agents isolated from blood culture of patients with infective endocarditis
Background: Infective endocarditis occurs due to the presence of microorganisms in the endocardium or the heart valves. Nowadays, infective endocarditis is still a major cause of death with an incidence rate of 5 to 7.9 per 100,000 populations. The aim of the study was to determine antibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial agents isolated from blood culture of patients with infective endocardi...

To describe characteristics of infective endocarditis (IE) in pacemaker (PM) recipients, including the annual incidence and exact localization of IE on PM leads, cardiac valves, or both, we prospectively analyzed 45 PM recipients from a group of 559 patients with definite IE who responded to a population-based survey conducted in France in 1999. Thirty-three patients had definite PM-lead IE (gr...
متن کاملCandida endocarditis. A treatable form of pacemaker infection.
Fungal endocarditis is a rare complication of permanent pacemaker implantation. In all reports we have identified, this infection has been fatal, diagnosed postmortem. We present a patient in whom early echocardiographic diagnosis resulted in curative surgical and antimicrobial therapy. Fungal endocarditis is an unusual, but treatable complication of permanent pacemakers.
