Abstract

Fungal infection of intracardiac pacing wire is very rare. We experienced a case of patient with functioning transvenous pacemaker lead, inserted 3 years previously, which was completely encased in a large thrombus infected with aspergillus. The lung biopsy also confirmed aspergillus infection.

우심실내에 위치한 영구 인공심박동기 전극의 진균감염은 매우 드물다. 최근 30세의 남자환자에서 3년전 우심실내에 위치시킨 인공심박동기의 심실전극에 국균증에 감염된 거대혈전을 형성한 경우를 인공심폐기를 이용한 체외순환하에서 전극선을 포함한 혈전제거술을 시행한 바 있다 또한 례장생검에콕 국균증 감염이 증명되었다.
