A woman aged 74 years with an implanted dual-chamber pacemaker presented with pacemaker site infection after failing empiric antimicrobial therapy. The pathogen was later identified as Mycobacterium goodii, a rapidly growing mycobacteria species. The pacemaker was subsequently removed and the patient was treated with oral ciprofloxacin and doxycycline with clinical improvement. In this article, we describe a rare case of pacemaker site infection by M. goodii.
一名74岁植入双腔起搏器的女性在经验性抗菌治疗失败后出现起搏器部位感染。病原体后来被鉴定为戈氏分枝杆菌，一种快速生长的分枝杆菌属菌种。随后移除了起搏器，患者接受口服环丙沙星和强力霉素治疗，临床症状有所改善。在本文中，我们描述了一例罕见的由戈氏分枝杆菌引起的起搏器部位感染病例。
