| Abstract (English): | Advances in cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) technology have enabled them to play a relevant role in heart disease. Although complications have decreased, CIED-related infection persists as one of the problems that has the greatest impact on the patient and the health system. Infections due to unusual germs generate additional morbidity and increased costs of care but can have a favorable course with early diagnosis and treatment. The case of a patient with clinical signs and symptoms of CIED pocket infection by Vagococcus fluvialis, without systemic infection or endocarditis, is presented for the first time in the literature. Timely treatment allowed a favorable evolution. New diagnostic and therapeutic challenges come from the hand of more complex patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | El avance en la tecnología de los dispositivos de estimulación eléctrica cardiaca (DEEC) ha permitido que ocupen un papel relevante en enfermedades cardiacas. Aunque las complicaciones han disminuido, la infección relacionada con DEEC persiste como uno de los problemas que mayor impacto tienen para el paciente y el sistema de salud. Las infecciones por gérmenes inusuales generan morbilidad adicional y costos aumentados en la atención, pero pueden cursar con una evolución favorable con un diagnóstico y tratamiento tempranos. Se presenta por primera vez en la literatura, el caso de un paciente con signos y síntomas clínicos de infección de bolsillo de DEEC por Vagococcus fluvialis, sin infección sistémica ni endocarditis. El tratamiento oportuno permitió una evolución favorable. Nuevos retos diagnóstico y terapéuticos vienen de la mano de pacientes más complejos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
