Diagnosis of pleural empyema/parapneumonic effusion by next-generation sequencing

Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Although a microbiological diagnosis of pleural infection is clinically important, it is often complicated by prior antibiotic treatment and/or difficulties with culturing some bacterial species.

Epidemiology and prognostic factors of pleural empyema

Thorax, 2021
Background Infection 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,

Medical Thoracoscopy and Intrapleural Fibrinolytic Therapy for the Management of Pleural Empyema: A Cohort Study

Respiration, 2022
Background: Pleural empyema is associated with relevant morbidity and mortality, and it may be classified, according to evolution and ultrasound, into three stages: stage I (free-flowing effusion), stage II (viscous effusion with the tendency to loculate)

Use of fibrinolytics and deoxyribonuclease in adult patients with pleural empyema: a consensus statement.

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2021
Although our understanding of the pathogenesis of empyema has grown tremendously over the past few decades, questions still remain on how to optimally manage this condition.

Change in Bacterial Causes of Community-Acquired Parapneumonic Effusion and Pleural Empyema in Children 6 Years After 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Implementation.

Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, 2018
We describe here changes in the bacterial causes of pleural empyema before and after implementation of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) program in France (2009-2017). For 220 (39.3%) of 560 children, a bacterial cause was found.

Pleural Empyema in Children

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,
