摘要:
Mediastinitis is a life-threatening complication of cardiac, neck and oesophageal surgery. It has also been reported following upper digestive and respiratory procedures and as a consequence of oesophageal perforation following the ingestion of foreign bodies. Much more infrequently, mediastinitis can occur in association with oropharyngeal or cervical infections. We describe the case of a patient with fatal mediastinitis and septic shock. The onset of mediastinitis was preceded by a 2-day course of sore throat and other flu-like symptoms
