摘要
Post-pneumonectomy empyema (PPE), with or without bronchopleural fistula, is a challenging and serious entity with significant mortality and morbidity. PPE is usually caused by bacteria such as staphylococci, streptococci and also gram-negative rods. Among fungal pathogens, Aspergillus species is a very rare cause of this entity. Herein, we describe an unusual case of delayed post-pneumonectomy empyema necessitans caused by Aspergillus flavus in a 65-year-old man with favourable clinical outcome by combined surgical and antifungal therapy.
