The overall incidence of confirmed CDI was 15 of 33 (45.4%). Confirmed CDI occurred in 9 of the 12 patients (75%) with early SAB (&lt;1 year after device placement). Fifteen of 21 patients (71.5%) with late SAB (\u22651 year after device placement) had either confirmed (6 of 21, 28.5%) or possible (9 of 21, 43%) CDI. In 60% of the patients (9 of 15) with confirmed CDI, no local signs or symptoms suggesting generator pocket infection were noted.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>\n                        <jats:bold>\n                          <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                        <\/jats:bold>\n                      <\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    The incidence of CDI among patients with SAB and cardiac devices is high. Neither physical examination nor echocardiography can exclude the possibility of CDI. In patients with early SAB, the device is usually involved, and \u224840% of these patients have obvious clinical signs of cardiac device involvement. Conversely, in patients with late SAB, the cardiac device is rarely the initial source of bacteremia, and there is a paucity of local signs of device involvement. The cardiac device is involved, however, in \u226528% of these patients.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/hc3401.095097","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,28]],"date-time":"2007-09-28T14:31:09Z","timestamp":1190989869000},"page":"1029-1033","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":248,"title":["<b>\n                      <i>Staphylococcus aureus<\/i>\n                      Bacteremia in Patients With Permanent Pacemakers or Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators\n                    <\/b>"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Anna Lisa","family":"Chamis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Medicine (A.L.C.), the Divisions of Infectious Diseases (G.R.C., L.B.R., V.G.F.) and Cardiology (G.E.P., C.H.C., R.A.S., R.A.G., T.R.), and the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory (L.B.R.), Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gail E.","family":"Peterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Medicine (A.L.C.), the Divisions of Infectious Diseases (G.R.C., L.B.R., V.G.F.) and Cardiology (G.E.P., C.H.C., R.A.S., R.A.G., T.R.), and the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory (L.B.R.), Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher H.","family":"Cabell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Medicine (A.L.C.), the Divisions of Infectious Diseases (G.R.C., L.B.R., V.G.F.) and Cardiology (G.E.P., C.H.C., R.A.S., R.A.G., T.R.), and the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory (L.B.R.), Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.
