Pacemaker-related fungal endocarditis is an uncommon and unexpected complication. It is associated with high mortality rates. Due to nonspecific clinical symptoms, negative blood culture and delays in obtaining appropriate imaging studies; late diagnosis is common with fungal endocarditis. Hereby we are reporting a rare case of pacemaker lead endocarditis due to Trichosporon species. In literature we did not find any case of pacemaker-related endocarditis due to Trichosporon species.
起搏器相关真菌性心内膜炎是一种罕见且出乎意料的并发症。它与高死亡率相关。由于临床症状不具特异性、血培养阴性以及获取适当影像学检查存在延迟,真菌性心内膜炎的诊断往往较晚。在此,我们报告一例罕见的由毛孢子菌属引起的起搏器导线心内膜炎病例。在文献中,我们未发现任何由毛孢子菌属引起的起搏器相关心内膜炎病例。
