Bacteriology of complicated parapneumonic effusions
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2007The bacteriology of complicated parapneumonic effusions has changed in recent decades, but the causative organisms often remain obscure in up to 40% of cases. Recently, new molecular methods have become available which might help clinical management and improve our understanding of this condition.

Diagnosis and Management of Parapneumonic Effusions
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2008Parapneumonic effusions affect many patients and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. It is necessary to differentiate complicated effusions requiring intervention from uncomplicated effusions. Differentiation is achieved using clinical, pleural fluid, and imaging parameters.

Parapneumonic Effusions and Empyema
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1985Abstract Parapneumonic effusions occur in 20 to 40% of patients who are hospitalized with pneumonia. The mortality rate in patients with a parapneumonic effusion is higher than that in patients with pneumonia without a parapneumonic effusion.

Parapneumonic Pleural Effusion and Empyema
Respiration, 2008At 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 ...

Management of parapneumonic pleural effusion
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001Parapneumonic pleural effusion is a common and potentially serious complication of pneumonia. The management of parapneumonic pleural effusion involves early diagnosis, adequate empiric antibiotic cover, and appropriate risk categorization. High-risk patients require safe and expedient drainage of the infected pleural space.

Management of Complicated Parapneumonic Effusions
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1993Pneumonia remains one of the most common infections in both the community and the hospital (1), and it is associated with a 36 to 57% incidence of pleural effusions (2-4), resulting in an estimated one million people a year in the United States developing parapneumonic effusions. Parapneumonic effusions (pleural fluids associated with pneumonia) may be

Management of Parapneumonic Effusion and Empyema
Clinics in Chest MedicinePleural infection, involving bacterial invasion of the pleural space, often stems from pneumonia but can occur independently. The 2 tenets of management are antibiotics and chest drainage, with intrapleural enzyme therapy or surgery required in select cases.

Parapneumonic effusion and empyema
Therapeutische Umschau, 2001Parapneumonische Pleuraergüsse finden sich bei bis zu 40% der Pneumonienpatienten. In der Regel stellen sie jedoch kein klinisches Problem dar. Ist bei einem pneumonischen Krankheitsbild auf dem Röntgenbild des Thorax oder in der sonographischen Untersuchung ein Erguss nachweisbar, dessen Ausdehnung eine gefahrlose Punktion (Thorakozentese) möglich ...
