  • Title: Yellow nail syndrome with thoracic empyema: report of a case.
    Author: Kimura T, Maeda H, Takeuchi Y, Funakoshi Y, Ose N, Kusumoto H.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2012 Feb; 42(3):292-4. PubMed ID: 22143357.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of yellow nail syndrome (YNS) complicated by thoracic empyema. The patient was a 75-year-old man with yellow nails and a history of respiratory illnesses. Initially he presented with recurrent pleural effusion, which developed into empyema within 3 years. This case serves to reinforce that recurrent pleural effusions should be initiated in the early stage of YNS to prevent the development of empyema.
