Pasteurella multocida appears to be an uncommon pathogen in human thoracic empyema. The morbidity and mortality associated with these infections has been significant, presumably secondary to the elderly populations they affect, many with chronic lung disease and impaired pulmonary defenses. We report a case of pasteurella empyema treated with open thoracostomy and rib resection and advocate use of such a procedure early in the treatment of patients with this infection.
多杀巴斯德菌似乎是人类胸腔积脓中一种不常见的病原体。与这些感染相关的发病率和死亡率一直很高，推测是由于它们所影响的老年人群，其中许多人患有慢性肺病且肺部防御功能受损。我们报告一例采用开胸造口术和肋骨切除术治疗的巴斯德菌性脓胸病例，并主张在治疗此类感染患者时尽早采用这种手术方法。
