- Abstract
A case study of a 68-year-old male patient presented with several weeks of fatigue, progressing to subjective fever and chills is presented. Pertinent history included an implantable cardiac defibrillator implantation in the left chest 25 months earlier for inducible ventricular tachycardia and an ischemic cardiomyopathy. Physical examination was unrevealing for source of infection.
