We report the first case to our knowledge of an early pacemaker pocket infection due to Aspergillus fumigatus. Several cases of late pacemaker pocket infection by Aspergillus have been reported, but it remains exceedingly rare. Recognition of Aspergillus infection as a potential early or late complication of placement of pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillator devices may help clinicians diagnose and treat future cases of this potentially devastating infection.
据我们所知，我们报告了首例由烟曲霉引起的早期起搏器囊袋感染病例。已有数例由曲霉引起的晚期起搏器囊袋感染的报道，但仍然极为罕见。认识到曲霉感染是起搏器或植入式心脏复律除颤器装置植入可能出现的早期或晚期并发症，可能有助于临床医生诊断和治疗未来这种可能具有毁灭性的感染病例。
