Sumario:A 79-year-old patient was hospitalized due to recurrent Serratia marcescens bacteremia. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) electrode infection with septic pulmonary emboli and vertebral osteomyelitis were diagnosed. In addition to antibiotic therapy, the ICD system was completely extracted. In patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) and bacteremia that cannot be adequately explained or recurs, regardless of the pathogen involved, a CIED-associated infection always needs to be ruled out.
