We present a case of empyema necessitatis presenting with an inflammatory cellulitis of the chest wall. Most of the cases previously reported were due to tuberculosis, pneumococcus or actinomycosis, with only a few cases being due to Staphylococcus aureus, as in this case. Early treatment with antibiotics and surgical drainage can prevent further complications.
我们报告一例伴有胸壁炎性蜂窝织炎的胸壁寒性脓肿病例。先前报道的大多数病例是由结核、肺炎球菌或放线菌引起的,只有少数病例如本病例一样是由金黄色葡萄球菌引起的。早期使用抗生素和手术引流可预防进一步的并发症。
