Empyema has rarely been associated with hepatic abscess. In patients with concurrent empyema and hepatic abscess, hepatic abscess drainage is usually required after drainage of the pleura. We present a rare case of a 91-year-old Caucasian man who presented with a 2-week history of productive cough, fever, shortness of breath, and generalized malaise. The patient was found to have concurrent streptococci empyema and hepatic abscess, and, interestingly, the hepatic abscess resolved after the drainage of the empyema and initiation of antibiotics.
脓胸很少与肝脓肿相关。对于同时患有脓胸和肝脓肿的患者，通常在胸腔引流后需要进行肝脓肿引流。我们报告了一例罕见病例，一名91岁的白种男性，有2周的咳痰、发热、气短和全身不适病史。该患者被发现同时患有链球菌性脓胸和肝脓肿，有趣的是，在脓胸引流并开始使用抗生素后，肝脓肿得以消退。
