Introduction:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is the most common metabolic disorder occurring in childhood with significant morbimortality. Uncontrolled diabetic patients are exposed to fatal hyperglycemic emergencies such as Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) characterized by hyperglycemia, acidosis, and ketosis. Although infections remain the predominant precipitating factors for (DKA), its association with mediastinitis is, to date, a rare situation. The objective of this study was to bring the importance of diagnosing the underlying etiological precipitants during DKA to enhance the management of this complication and reduce its mortality.
