Abstract

Pneumonia is an infection of the lung parenchyma that may result in pleural thickening, effusion, or an empyema. When there is air or gas in association with purulent exudate in the pleural cavity, a pyopneumothorax exists. The progression to pyopneumothorax under tension is extremely rare. We present a case of tension pyopneumothorax in a child.

摘要

肺炎是肺实质的感染，可能导致胸膜增厚、胸腔积液或脓胸。当胸腔内存在空气或气体并伴有脓性渗出物时，就会出现脓气胸。张力性脓气胸的进展极为罕见。我们报告一例儿童张力性脓气胸病例。
