Résumé
The incidence of cardiac device-related endocarditis (CDRIE) is increasing, and its diagnosis and treatment may occasionally be problematic. Echocardiography is important for its diagnosis, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) may also be useful as a diagnostic procedure. A case of CDRIE due to an infected pacemaker is presented. In this case, blood cultures were repeatedly negative, and transesophageal ultrasound examination did not reveal signs of the disease. However, PET/CT revealed the infection. The causative organism was
