AI Article Synopsis

  • A 73-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a right pleural effusion, and imaging showed multifocal effusions, leading to drainage procedures.
  • Actinomyces meyeri was identified in the pleural fluid, and despite initial antibiotic treatment, the patient required a surgical procedure to address empyema.
  • After a successful operation and removal of the chest tube, the patient was discharged with a course of intravenous antibiotics followed by six months of oral antibiotics, as treatment for actinomycosis empyema typically lasts from 6 to 12 months.

Article Abstract

A 73-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a right pleural effusion. Chest computed tomography( CT) showed multifocal pleural effusion, and chest drainage was performed. Actinomyces meyeri was detected in the pleural fluid culture. Despite antibiotic treatment, the patient's condition did not improve, and a curettage was performed for empyema. The chest tube was removed on postoperative day 7 and the patient was discharged home uneventfully on day 21. Intravenous antibiotics were given for 16 days, followed by oral antibiotics for 6 months. Actinomycosis empyema is a rare disease with no established duration of treatment, but a total of 6 to 12 months of treatment is generally recommended.
