| In this review we discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and empyema. |
| Infective emboli are liable to lodge in the lung or pleura, and set up pulmonary abscess, gangrene of the lung, or empyema. |
| In cases of chronic empyema of the maxillary sinus this operation is very successful. |
| Thoracic empyema is defined as an infection of the pleural space associated with the formation of thick, purulent, pleural fluid. |
| These included abortion, asthma, dropsy, sterility, cancer, dysmenorrhea, melancholy, empyema, worms, and jaundice to name only a few. |
| The effect is perhaps marginally greater in the samples of surgical pus than in the empyema pus. |
