Internal Medicine Department.

Two cases of cardiac device infection due to Mycobacterium fortuitum are reported along with a discussion of their clinical management. Long-term therapy and removal of the infected device is needed. The slow progression and absence of systemic signs and symptoms suggest a low pathogenicity of M fortuitum.
