Intrathecal drug delivery device infection with Mycobacterium fortuitum has not been reported previously. We report a case of an implanted baclofen pump infection and associated mycobacterium meningitis due to Mycobacterium fortuitum. The entire pump system was removed and the patient was treated successfully with a prolonged regimen of antibiotics.
