摘要: Over a ten year period, 102 patients with thoracic empyemata were treated at Boston City Hospital. Only three died from the pleural infection while twenty-six succumbed to associated diseases. Priniciples of management include: (1) thoracentesis; (2) antibiotics; (3) closed-tube thoracostomy; (4) sinogram; (5) open drainage; (6) empyemectomy and decortication in selected patients; (7) bronchoscopy barium swallow when etiology is uncertain.
