Popis:	Septicaemia on endocardial pacemaker leads is very rare but the presentation is insidious and the prognosis very bad if all the implanted materiel is not completely removed.A 55 year-old woman presented three episodes of Staphylococcus epidermidis septicaemia in three years, after incomplete removal of the pacing system. Permanent cure was finally obtained after complete removal of the pacemaker material.Emphasis must be placed on the difficulty in diagnosing and treating such affections, their severity and also the interest of a certain number of prophylactic measures.
