Pocket Infection

Mycobacterium peregrinum is a rapidly growing mycobacterium (RGM), subspecies of Mycobacterium fortuitum 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 M. peregrinum 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 M. peregrinum infection associated with cardiac devices. Diagnosis and treatment of Mycobacterium peregrinum infection can be challenging, and the literature is scarce. Better understanding and further research should be conducted regarding this infection.

Post Implantation

The use of implantable electronic cardiac devices is increasing. Post-implantation follow-up is important for monitoring both device function and patient condition; however, clinical practice is inconsistent. For example, implantable cardioverter–defibrillator follow-up schedules vary from every three months to yearly according to facility and physician preference and the availability of resources. Importantly, no surveillance occurs between follow-up visits. By contrast, implantable devices with automatic remote monitoring capability provide a means for performing constant surveillance, with the ability to identify salient problems rapidly. The Lumos-T Reduces Routine Office Device Follow-up Study (TRUST) demonstrated that remote home monitoring reduced clinic burden and allowed early detection of patient and/or system problems, enabling efficient monitoring and an opportunity to enhance patient safety. The results of the trial have significant implications for the management of patients receiving all forms of implantable electronic cardiac device.

Treatment Methods

The review of the literature on epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment methods for chronic familial benign pemphigus Gougerot-Haley-Haley, as well as a clinical case of a patient with this disease with family history are presented. The manifestation of the disease occurred at the age of 24, after childbirth. Later there were numerous relapses. Remission was quickly achieved after treatment with antibiotics and oxygen-ozone therapy. In recent years, there has been an increase in the frequency of exacerbations of the disease, and a decrease in treatment effectiveness.
