摘要：

A 69-year-old man with a history of diabetes and episodic lymphocytopenia underwent pacemaker implantation for complete heart block. Despite prophylactic antibiotics, pocket irrigation, and strict sterile technique, a fungal (Candida albicans) pacemaker site infection developed that required pacemaker explanation and systemic amphotericin B therapy. After 3 days of temporary pacing, a second pulse generator was implanted on the opposite side. At 2-year follow-up, he has had no recurrence of pacemaker infection. This report underscores the predilection of diabetics for infections, and in particular, their susceptibility to Candida albicans.
