Parapneumonic Pleural Effusion and Empyema
Respiration, 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 ...

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1970
n the late 1950’s a tremendous increase in the incidence of staphylococcal pneumonia and empyema occurred throughout many of the I pediatric centers in the country. This increase was thought to have been caused by the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria [3]. Several papers appeared in the literature reflecting this changing pattern [4,

Cholelithoptysis and pleural empyema
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999We report a case of delayed cholelithoptysis and pleural empyema caused by gallstone spillage at the time of laparoscopic cholecystecomy. 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.

Microbiology and Management of Pleural Empyema
2008Empyema is apparently becoming more common, with pneumococcus being the most common pathogen detected in Europe and the USA. However, group A streptococcus and S. aureus pneumonia are individually more likely to progress to empyema. Serotype 1 pneumococcus is frequently implicated and the reasons for an apparent increase in incidence remain unclear ...

Approach to pleural effusions and empyemas
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2004Parapneumonic 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.

Pasteurella multocida pleural empyema
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1978RESPIRATOR Y INFECTIONS caused by Pasteurella multocida, specifically pneumonia and empyema, have been amply described in adults.>" This organism has been responsible for disease in extrapulmonary sites as well.': In children, however, infections with -P.

THE CHANGING PICTURE OF PLEURAL EMPYEMA
Archives of Surgery, 1956MANY IMPORTANT changes can be ascribed to the chemotherapeutic drugs and antibiotics. Striking examples of these changes are found in the clinical picture of empyema, its incidence, pathogenesis, and treatment. In the short space of twelve years the frequency of empyema among admissions to the thoracic section of the New Haven Hospital has dropped from

Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 1998
Thoracic empyema may be based on four different etiologic mechanisms of infection: (1) parapneumonic, (2) posttraumatic, (3) postspecific, (4) postsurgical. According to morphologic processes, three different time-dependent stages may be present: (1) exudative phase, (2) fibrino-purulent phase, (3) organization and pleural peel formation. Diagnosis and
