Abstract

Pacemakers are foreign bodies which often used in the treatment of arrhythmias. Infection of pacemaker and the parts associated with pacemaker is extremely rare. The most important risk factors for development of infection; duration of the procedure, complications during operation and immunodeficiency of the patient. These infections are often seen when the pacemaker was inserted or removed as a result of the contamination. Although pacemaker infections are rare, the mortality rate is high. The most common causative agent is staphylococcus, gram negative bacteria and fungi may also be rarely causative agents. Ochrobactrum anthropi is a gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase positive, urease positive, motile and non-lactose-fermenting bacillus previously known as “ Achromobacter group”. It is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause infection in especially immunosupressive patients with permanent central venous catheter. The main infections reported due to this agent; bacteremia, central venous catheter-related sepsis, endocarditis, endophthalmitis, pancreatic abscess, urinary tract infections, meningitis, pelvic abscess and osteomyelitis. In the literature, just one case has been reported which developed pacemaker infection due to this agent. In this manuscript, fifty-four-year-old Afghan nationality patient was presented with the diagnosis of pacemaker and pacemaker lead infections.

Özet

Pacemakerlar aritmi tedavisinde sıklıkla kullanılan yabancı cisimlerdir. Pacemaker ve pacemaker ile ilişkili kısımların enfeksiyonu oldukça nadir görülür. Enfeksiyon gelişmesi açısından en önemli risk faktörleri; işlemin süresi, işlem sırasında komplikasyon gelişmesi ve hastanın immün yetmezlik durumudur. Pacemaker enfeksiyonları nadir görülmekle birlikte, mortalite oranı yüksektir. Pacemaker enfeksiyonuna en sık neden olan etkenler Stafilokoklar olup, nadiren Gram-negatif bakteriler ve mantarlar da etken olabilir. Ochrobactrum anthropi (O. anthropi) daha önce Achromobacter cinsinde yer alan Gram-negatif, aerob, oksidaz pozitif, üreaz pozitif, hareketli ve non-fermantatif bir basildir. Özellikle kalıcı santral venöz kateteri olan immunsüpresif hastalarda enfeksiyona neden olabilen fırsatçı bir patojendir. Bu etkene bağlı olarak bildirilmiş başlıca enfeksiyonlar;bakteriyemi, santral venöz kateterle ilişkili sepsis, endokardit, endoftalmit, pankreatik apse, üriner sistem infeksiyonu, menejit, pelvik apse ve osteomyelittir. Literatürde bu etkene bağlı olarak pacemaker enfeksiyonu gelişen yalnızca bir olgu bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda, O. anthropi ’nin neden olduğu pacemaker ve pacemaker kablo enfeksiyonu olan 54 yaşında Afgan uyruklu erkek bir olgu sunuldu.
