Necrotizing Pneumonia Caused by PVL‐Negative Methicillin‐Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Complicated by Refractory Pneumothorax: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Here we report a case of PVL‐negative MSSA necrotizing pneumonia in a previously healthy man that rapidly progressed to cavitary lesions and refractory pneumothorax. Despite its improvement after clindamycin‐based therapy, the patient experienced recurrent pneumothorax and chronic respiratory failure.

A Rare Case of Concurrent Urinothorax and Myelomatous Pleural Effusion

Case Reports in Pulmonology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Myelomatous pleural effusion (MPE) is a rare complication of multiple myeloma, occurring in < 1% of cases and associated with poor prognosis. Urinothorax, another rare cause of pleural effusion, results from urine leakage into the pleural cavity, typically due to obstructive uropathy or trauma.

Fibrin sheath following pleurodesis [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2014
A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with drug-induced interstitial pneumonia. He was treated with corticosteroid and showed a partial decrease in the interstitial shadow. However, secondary pneumothorax was detected on day 28 of the treatment (figure 1A), thoracic drainage catheter was inserted.

The efficacy and safety of povidone-iodine as a pleurodesis-inducing agent in spontaneous pneumothorax: An experience from a tertiary care hospital for publication

Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018
Background: Primary or secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP or SSP) is a common treatable disease but notorious for its recurrence over the years. Intercoastal tube (ICT) thoracostomy is often done to relieve pneumothorax.

Resolution of a persistent pneumothorax by blood patch pleurodesis in a cat (Felis catus) with primary pulmonary lymphoma

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract An 18‐year‐old, spayed, female, domestic shorthair cat was presented to our hospital with acute dyspnoea following an episode of vomiting. Thoracic radiography revealed a severe pneumothorax. Despite multiple thoracocenteses, the pneumothorax persisted. Under general anaesthesia, computed tomography revealed multiple pulmonary masses.

Relatively Safer and Efficient Pleurodesis With 50% DW for Very Elderly Patients With Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax: Report of 2 Cases

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports
I report 2 cases of pleurodesis with 50% dextrose water (DW) in very elderly patients with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. In both cases, a chest computed tomography scan showed a large pneumothorax with emphysema and multiple bullae.

Salvage Surgery Following Systemic Therapy in Initially Unresectable Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 16, Issue 24, December 2025.
Salvage pulmonary resection after systemic therapy for initially unresectable non‐small cell lung cancer achieved a high R0 rate with minimal morbidity and no perioperative mortality. Careful multidisciplinary selection facilitated a durable 5‐year survival rate of 75%.
