Pacemaker infection at generator site by : A case report and review of the literature.

We herein report an unusual case of pacemaker infection at generator site in a 62-year old female with no pertinent past medical history. Pacemaker-related infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria are rare but can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. is rarely reported in pacemaker infections and is challenging to treat due to resistance to many antimicrobial agents. In our case, the patient's pacemaker infection did not respond to standard treatment, leading to complete device removal. Our case highlights the challenges in treating , especially that our patient had a more resistant organism than those reported previously in literature. To our knowledge, such cases are infrequently reported in the literature.
