Empyema associated with Campylobacter curvus infection
We report the first case of thoracic empyema associated with Campylobacter curvus infection. A 65‐year‐old woman with a history of bronchiectasis presented with acute cough and phlegm. The patient reported dyspnoea and left chest pain accompanied by left pleural effusion, despite treatment with sita...

description | We report the first case of thoracic empyema associated with Campylobacter curvus infection. A 65‐year‐old woman with a history of bronchiectasis presented with acute cough and phlegm. The patient reported dyspnoea and left chest pain accompanied by left pleural effusion, despite treatment with sitafloxacin. Curved Gram‐negative rods, eventually identified as C. curvus using 16S ribosomal RNA‐ and atpA‐specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing, were cultured in anaerobic condition of pleural effusion together with Peptostreptococci. The patient recovered after thoracic drainage and treatment with ampicillin/sulbactam and clindamycin. C. curvus, an anaerobe present in human oral cavity, can be associated with extra‐oral infections such as empyema. |
