Unexpected etiology of a pleural empyema in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): Capnocytophaga ochracea

Pleural effusions and empyemas caused by Capnocytophaga spp. are uncommon with few cases previously reported. Here, we present the case of a 62-year-old man with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) complicated by a pleural empyema caused by C. ochracea. The route of acquisition was likely t...

description Pleural effusions and empyemas caused by Capnocytophaga spp. are uncommon with few cases previously reported. Here, we present the case of a 62-year-old man with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) complicated by a pleural empyema caused by C. ochracea. The route of acquisition was likely the result of aspiration of C. ochracea coupled with the immune defects associated with untreated CLL.
