Review of an annual series of cases of empyema seen at a regional cardiothoracic unit showed that six out of 25 were due to Streptococcus milleri. The details of the cases are summarised. This organism is now an important cause of empyema, occurring much more commonly in men than in women; but since it is highly sensitive to penicillins permanent resolution can be achieved with antibiotic treatment combined with open or closed drainage.
对某地区心胸科单位每年收治的脓胸病例系列进行回顾发现,25例中有6例由米勒链球菌引起。现将病例详情总结如下。该病原体目前是脓胸的一个重要病因,在男性中比在女性中更为常见;但由于它对青霉素高度敏感,采用抗生素治疗并结合开放或闭式引流可实现永久性治愈。
