Overview
Generally, mediastinitis possesses a low incidence.[1] Less than 5% of patients develop mediastinitis following chest surgery.
Epidemiology and demographics
Generally, mediastinitis possesses a low incidence.[1] However, mediastinitis is observed at a greater incidence in recent heart transplant patients than the general population.[2][3][4]
| Cause | Incidence | Mortality | Main Organism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pharyngitis | 71% | unknown | Streptococcus bacteria |
| Dental Infection | 60% | unknown | Odontogenic bacteria |
| Esophageal perforation (Boerhaave syndrome) | 5% | 20-60% | Oropharyngeal flora |
| Heart post-sternotomy | 0.4-5% | 16-47% | Staphylococcus aureus |
