We present the cases of two young heroin addicts seropositive for HIV who had life-threatening spontaneous acute anterior mediastinitis due to Staphylococcus aureus. This was the consequence of the spreading to the mediastinum of an infection of the chest wall. Complete cure was achieved with antibiotics and surgical drainage. Spontaneous mediastinitis should arouse suspicion of the possibility of HIV infection.
我们报告了两例感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)且血清学呈阳性的年轻海洛因成瘾者,他们因金黄色葡萄球菌感染而患上了危及生命的自发性急性前纵隔炎。这是胸壁感染蔓延至纵隔的结果。通过抗生素治疗和手术引流实现了完全治愈。自发性纵隔炎应引起对HIV感染可能性的怀疑。
