We investigated the efficacy and safety of intrapleural instillation of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (Alteplase) in 120 patients with complicated pleural effusion (CPE) or empyema. These 120 patients had failed simple chest tube placement and conventional medical treatment. The patients included 52 with empyema, 41 with CPE, 10 with hemothorax, and 17 with complicated malignant pleural effusions.

Organisms encoding multiple antibiotic resistance genes are becoming increasingly prevalent. In this report we describe a multiply resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae which possesses at least five different beta-lactamase genes. Isoelectric focusing, polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis identified TEM-1, multiple SHVs, OXA-9 and a plasmid-mediated ampC, beta-lactamase.
