Infections of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are uncommon but potentially life-threatening. We present the case of an 84-year-old man with a pacemaker, diabetes, and hypertension, who developed a painful, erythematous swelling over the device site. Laboratory workup showed elevated inflammatory markers. He was treated with intravenous antibiotics and underwent pacemaker relocation. Early recognition and complete device management are critical to prevent complications.
