Abstract

Allergic reactions to pacemaker components are rare but well known . We present a case who developed pain, erythema and serosangious discharge immediately after permanent pace maker (PPM) implantation. There was no evidence of infection from ancillary investigations and the whole pacemaker system was explanted. New system was implanted on the opposite side and the patient once again had erythema and swelling of the wound with scant discharge. Hemogram revealed Eosinophillia and also IgE levels were increased. Patient was started on steroids which resulted in prompt healing of wound.

Özet

Kalp pili bileşenlerine karşı alerjik reaksiyon nadir fakat iyi bilinen bir durumdur. Bu makalede kardiyak kalıcı peacemaker implantasyonundan hemen sonra ortaya çıkan ağrı, kızarıklık ve seroanjiyöz akıntı gelişen bir olguyu sunduk. Hastanın tetkiklerinde enfeksiyon bulgusu yoktu ve tüm peacemaker sistemi çıkarıldı. Diğer göğüs tarafına yeni sistem takıldı ve hastada yine eritem ve hafif akıntı ile birlikte yara yerinde şişlik oldu. Hemogramda eozinofili mevcuttu ve aynı zamanda IgE düzeyi artmıştı. Hastaya yara yerinin hemen iyileşmesi ile sonuçlanan steroid tedavisi başlandı
