Intrathoracic gas formation due to anaerobic pleuropulmonary infection is rare.
METHOD & RESULTS: We experienced a case of empyema with intrathoracic gas formation by an anaerobic bacterium in a young woman with anorexia nervosa (AN).
We should therefore be alert to the possibility of serious infection in patients with AN, even when they have few complaints or normal white blood cell counts.
因厌氧性胸膜肺部感染导致的胸腔内气体形成较为罕见。
我们诊治了一名患有神经性厌食症(AN)的年轻女性,她因厌氧菌感染发生了伴有胸腔内气体形成的脓胸。
因此,我们应当警惕AN患者发生严重感染的可能性,即便他们症状轻微或白细胞计数正常。
