Parapneumonic Pleural Effusion and Empyema

open access: yesRespiration, 2008
At least 40% of all patients with pneumonia will have an associated pleural effusion, although a minority will require an intervention for a complicated parapneumonic effusion or empyema. All patients require medical management with antibiotics. Empyema and large or loculated effusions need to be formally drained, as well as parapneumonic effusions ...

Cholelithoptysis and pleural empyema

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999

An occult subphrenic abscess developed, and the patient became symptomatic only after trans-diaphragmatic penetration occurred. This resulted in expectoration of bile, gallstones, and pus.

Approach to pleural effusions and empyemas

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2004
Parapneumonic effusions in children occur in three not so sharply defined stages: exudative, fibropurulent, and organising.1 Clinically, parapneumonic effusions can be classified as simple, complicated, or purulent. Simple parapneumonic effusions generally contain free-flowing, sterile fluid with normal glucose and pH.
