Abstract
Mediastinitis remains one of the most serious and dreaded complications of median sternotomy. Salmonella is a rare cause of mediastinal infection. The case is reported of a patient who underwent heart valve surgery and developed a Salmonella enteritidis bacteraemia in the postoperative period, which caused aortic dissection and mediastinitis.Entities:
