摘要：

Infection is a serious complication post implantation of an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD). We report a case of a 77-year-old man who had an ICD generator change complicated by a hematoma. The generator became infected at the time of Campylobacter fetus bacteremia. The ICD was removed and a new device was implanted without complication.
