    Author: Sasse SA.
    Journal: Curr Opin Pulm Med; 1996 Jul; 2(4):320-6. PubMed ID: 9363160.
    Abstract:
    Thoracic empyema remains a significant medical problem in 1996. Patients in whom empyema develops suffer significant morbidity, frequently require prolonged hospitalizations, and are at an increased risk of death. In this review of parapneumonic effusions and empyema, four topics are discussed: diagnosis of empyema, the organisms responsible for empyema, the methods used for treatment, and the results from animal models of empyema.
