Sažetak
An 11-month-old infant with staphylococcal sepsis and empyema of the right thorax is presented. An adequate antibiotic therapy was administered, and purulent content was eliminated by thoracocentesis. On the 5th day of treatment, a tension pneumothorax developed, and negative succion drainage was performed.
Empyema therapy is under the competence of the paediatrician and surgeon, and early performed drainage of pleural cavity can prevent the development of complications.
