is a rapidly growing mycobacterium (RGM), subspecies of complex, which can cause infections in the skin, surgical sites, and central lines. It has also been associated with implantable devices such as cardiac devices. Our objective is to present an atypical clinical case of infection associated with a cardiac device, review the published literature, and highlight the importance of this type of RGM infection to enhance their therapeutic success. Only two other cases have been reported of infection associated with cardiac devices. Diagnosis and treatment of infection can be challenging, and the literature is scarce. Better understanding and further research should be conducted regarding this infection.
是一种快速生长的分枝杆菌（RGM），属于复合体的亚种，可引起皮肤、手术部位和中心静脉导管感染。它还与诸如心脏装置等可植入设备有关。我们的目的是呈现一例与心脏装置相关的非典型感染临床病例，回顾已发表的文献，并强调这类快速生长分枝杆菌感染对于提高治疗成功率的重要性。仅有另外两例与心脏装置相关的感染病例被报道。快速生长分枝杆菌感染的诊断和治疗具有挑战性，且相关文献匮乏。应对这种感染进行更好的理解和进一步研究。
