Abstract

Chills and signs of systemic infection caused a patient’s hospitalization. Reason for his productive cough and hemoptysis was apparently lobar pneumonia—until an unexpected result of blood cultures rendered further diagnostics necessary in this pacemaker patient.

Translated title of the contribution
A glimpse at the (unremarkable) pacemaker pocket is not enough!
