Spontaneous bacterial empyema is a spontaneous infection of the pleural cavity in the absence of pneumonia, typically seen in patients with liver cirrhosis and preexisting hepatic hydrothorax. Empyema thoracis caused by () is a rare clinical finding and, in most cases, a consequence of pneumonia. Spontaneous bacterial empyema secondary to in a non-cirrhotic individual is an unusual association, rarely described in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of spontaneous bacterial empyema thoracis in a non-cirrhotic, immunocompetent individual with a complex medical history including pulmonary thromboembolism, oropharyngeal dysphagia, and a high aspiration risk of oropharyngeal secretions.
自发性细菌性脓胸是指在无肺炎的情况下胸膜腔的自发性感染，常见于肝硬化及既往有肝性胸水的患者。由（）引起的脓胸是一种罕见的临床发现，在大多数情况下是肺炎的后果。非肝硬化个体继发于（）的自发性细菌性脓胸是一种不寻常的关联，文献中很少描述。据我们所知，这是首例非肝硬化、免疫功能正常且有复杂病史（包括肺血栓栓塞、口咽吞咽困难和口咽分泌物误吸风险高）的个体发生自发性细菌性脓胸。
