    A rare fungal pacemaker infection caused by Scedosporium apiospermum occurred after device manipulations. Despite interventions, the patient experienced severe complications, leading to treatment withdrawal.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Pacemaker infections pose significant clinical challenges.
    • Scedosporium apiospermum is an emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed a pacemaker infection with Scedosporium apiospermum after multiple device manipulations.
    • The infection led to persistent sepsis, pulmonary septic emboli, and bilateral frontal lobe infarction.

    Findings:

    • Percutaneous removal of the pacemaker and surgical extraction of an atrial thrombus were performed.
    • Despite aggressive management, the patient's condition deteriorated due to disseminated fungal infection.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for Scedosporium apiospermum to cause severe pacemaker-related infections.
