Pacemaker contact sensitivity is a rare condition. Less than 30 reports of pacemaker skin reactions have been described. We report a 57-year-old woman who underwent an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implantation for ventricular tachycardia. A skin patch test was positive on almost all components of the pacemaker system. She was treated with topical corticosteroids and skin lesions resolved within 2 weeks. Because of widespread use of various devices, we will see this more often and therefore it is important to recognize this problem and its effective management.
起搏器接触敏感性是一种罕见病症。关于起搏器皮肤反应的报道少于30例。我们报告一名57岁女性,因室性心动过速接受了植入式心脏除颤器(ICD)植入术。起搏器系统几乎所有组件的皮肤斑贴试验均呈阳性。她接受了局部皮质类固醇治疗,皮肤病变在2周内消退。由于各种设备的广泛使用,我们会更频繁地见到这种情况,因此认识到这个问题及其有效管理很重要。
