Delayed post‐pneumonectomy empyema necessitans caused by Aspergillus flavus : An unusual report

Post‐pneumonectomy empyema (PPE), with or without bronchopleural fistula, is a challenging and serious entity with significant mortality and morbidity. PPE is usually caused by bacteria such as staphylococci, streptococci and also gram‐negative rods. Among fungal pathogens, Aspergillus species is a...

description Post‐pneumonectomy empyema (PPE), with or without bronchopleural fistula, is a challenging and serious entity with significant mortality and morbidity. PPE is usually caused by bacteria such as staphylococci, streptococci and also gram‐negative rods. Among fungal pathogens, Aspergillus species is a very rare cause of this entity. Herein, we describe an unusual case of delayed post‐pneumonectomy empyema necessitans caused by Aspergillus flavus in a 65‐year‐old man with favourable clinical outcome by combined surgical and antifungal therapy.
