We report a case of pacemaker lead infection caused by Aspergillus fumigatus that was successfully treated by surgery and with voriconazole. This infection is rare and dangerous. When it is suspected, transesophageal echocardiography should be performed to look for lead-attached vegetations and the entire pacing system should be removed.
