The key is C. Mediastinitis. [Mediastinitis usually results from an infection. It may occur suddenly (acute), or it may develop slowly and get worse over time (chronic). It most often occurs in person who recently had an upper endoscopy or chest surgery. A person may have a tear in their esophagus that causes mediastinitis].
