Endoscopic Treatment of Boerhaave Syndrome Related Empyema. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Boerhaave syndrome is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. It can lead to complications such as empyema. Endoscopic repair can be a viable, less invasive alternative to surgical repair, which is associated with a substantial degree of surgical risks. ABSTRACT Empyema and Boerhaave syndrome are both life‐threatening conditions. We present

Severe Necrotizing Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Bilateral Empyema in an Immunocompetent Patient due to <i>Fusobacterium necrophorum</i>. [PDF]

Case Rep Pulmonol
Necrotizing pneumonia and empyema caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum are uncommon. The classical presentation of Lemierre′s syndrome, characterized by pharyngotonsillitis and internal jugular vein thrombosis, is not always observed, and incomplete and atypical variants can cause diagnostic uncertainty and delay in treatment.

Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot for Acute Empyema With Bronchopleural Fistula: A Case Series. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We report three elderly patients with acute infectious empyema complicated by bronchopleural fistula (BPF), all successfully managed with early endobronchial Watanabe spigot (EWS) placement as a first‐line intervention. These observations suggest that EWS can be considered a proactive and minimally invasive primary option to abolish air leakage and ...

Identification of Microbiome Etiology Associated With Drug Resistance in Pleural Empyema

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Identification of the offending organism and appropriate antimicrobial therapy are crucial for treating empyema. Diagnosis of empyema is largely obscured by the conventional bacterial cultivation and PCR process that has relatively low sensitivity ...
