抄録

In pacemaker-related infections,as for all foreign body related infections,it is usually desirable to remove the infected device.However,we report the case of a patient undergoing treatment with a Cardiac Resynchronization TherapyDefibrillator (CRT-D) for severe arrhythmia in whom removal of the defibrillator was difficult and infection control was achieved only with antimicrobial chemotherapy.<br>The patient,in whom a CRT-D had been implanted for ventricular tachycardia,was hospitalized for catheter infection disease.She was diagnosed with infective endocarditis as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected in a blood culture,and vegetation on the CRT-D lead by TTE.Owing to her severe arrhythmia,the lead was not removed,and a doctor requested a pharmacist’s advice on drug selection for antimicrobial chemotherapy and planning its administration.<br>We conducted administration planning for vancomycin,gentamycin,linezolid and arbekacin,achieved success in controlling vancomycin-intermediate resistant Staphylococcus aureus,and the vegetation disappeared.However,we encountered drug interactions and the adverse effects of hematologic abnormalities and renal dysfunction.<br>It has been suggested that treatment of infections associated with cardiac devices is possible using only antimicrobial chemotherapy if appropriate,effective antimicrobials are selected.However,it is generally necessary to continue such therapy for a long period of time in a patient like this and it is therefore important to be aware of the incidence of antimicrobial resistance,the adverse effects of antimicrobial agents,and drug interactions when selecting antimicrobials for treatment.
