Bilateral extrapleural effusions complicating bilateral pneumonia

RM Bogin, J Simon and DL Buschman
National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Denver 80206.

In the case reported herein a patient developed bilateral pneumonia and septic shock and subsequently developed bilateral effusions. Chest roentgenograms, computed tomograms, and findings from analysis of the fluid within the chest were consistent with typical empyemas. When surgical decortication was attempted, the effusions were found to be anatomically extrapleural. Symptomatic improvement was noted following debridement.
