Management of Empyema thoracis in children--a study of 65 cases.

Sixty-five cases of pleural empyema (50 boys and 15 girls) were seen between January 1983 and June 1986. Fifty-three of these 65 children were below 10 years of age. Pulmonary infection was the commonest underlying cause. Cough with or without expectoration (98%) and fever (95%) were the commonest symptoms followed by breathlessness (85%) and chest pain (83%). Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from pus and blood in 61% and 18% of cases, respectively, while pseudomonas was grown in 8% and 3%. Most of the children (88%) were treated with antibiotics and tube thoracostomy drainage. Decortication was needed in 12% of cases. There were four deaths in this study. The overall success rate was 94%.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is still a common disease in the developing countries of the world. One hundred patients with pulmonary tuberculosis showed laryngeal involvement in 37 patients. The posterior part of the larynx followed by the epiglottis are the commonest sites to be involved in the larynx. Ulcerative lesions and perichondritis, so common in pre-chemotherapeutic days, were not seen.
