Acute mediastinitis is an uncommon and potentially devastating infection. Generally, mediastinitis occurs as a postoperative infection following median sternotomy. We describe a case of acute mediastinitis in a patient with ischaemic heart disease, secondary to the spread of cutaneous infection of the chest wall in the application site of transdermal nitroglycerine patches. |
