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.

Parapneumonic Pleural Effusion and Empyema [PDF]
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 ...

Approach to pleural effusions and empyemas [PDF]
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.

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.

Epidemiology and prognostic factors of pleural empyema
Thorax, 2021BackgroundInfection of the pleural cavity invariably leads to hospitalisation, and a fatal outcome is not uncommon. Our aim was to study the epidemiology of pleural empyema on a nationwide basis in the whole population and in three subgroups of patients, namely post-lung resection, associated cancer and those with no surgery and no cancer.MethodsData ...

Pleural Empyema Due to Bacteroides
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1966Bacteroides are gram negative, anaerobic, pleomorphic rods which may vary from minute coccoid to bacillary rods to long filamentous forms. They are found in the intestinal tracts and on mucous membranes of warm blooded animals. 1 Bacteroides have been implicated as having human pathogenicity since 1897 when Veillon and Zuber 2 found such anaerobic ...

Complicated parapneumonic effusion (empyema) may be managed safely and effectively using minimally invasive techniques to achieve chemical or mechanical debridement. The former, using fibrinolytic therapy has been shown to be a more cost-effective option and has been internationally endorsed as firstline treatment where intervention is required.

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 ...

Use of urokinase in childhood pleural empyema
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2002AbstractUrokinase is an enzyme with a fibrinolytic effect that facilitates pleural empyema drainage through a chest tube. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of pneumothorax, the need for pleural debridement surgery, the persistence of fever, and the number of days in hospital in a group of children with parapneumonic pleural empyema treated ...
