Propionibacterium acnes Causing Mediastinal Infection following Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration

الملخص EN

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is now a standard of care to sample mediastinal lymph nodes and masses with high diagnostic accuracy and low complication rates.

However, the procedure has potential complications that might be life-threatening.

Here, we present the first case of Propionobacterium acnes (P.

acnes) causing mediastinitis following EBUS-TBNA of a subcarinal lymph node.
