Allergic reactions to components of cardiac implantable electronic devices are rare and often go undiagnosed, which can lead to a misdiagnosis of device infection. Contact allergy to subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is extremely rare. In this report, we present a case of cobalt-related contact allergy in a pediatric patient with Brugada syndrome who underwent S-ICD implantation.
