Treatment of pacemaker infection

Treatment of pacemaker infection

I am being treated with antibiotics for a pacemaker infection and will more than likely have to have it removed.
What are the dangers and important questions to ask my doctor.

Thanks

I reply mostly to wish the best, and to "bump" your post back to the top of the list.  I know we have several people on the Community that have experience with pacemakers...maybe one will reply.

Treatment of infections are always important, they must be stopped.  As for removal, I assume that means with other means being provided, e.g., a new pacemaker after the infection is cleared.

Wish you a simple, quick and effective result from antibiotics.
