Overview

This case report details pleurostomy's effectiveness for persistent tuberculous empyema and broncho pleural fistula.

Key Points

  • Pleurostomy led to the successful closure of the pleural cavity after persistent drainage and infection.
  • The patient, a 30-year-old with tuberculous empyema, showed favorable recovery post-surgery.
  • Cytobacteriological examination revealed pseudomonas aeruginosa and klebsiella pneumoniae one month post-surgery.
  • The complex case illustrates a successful intervention for a severe complication of tuberculosis.
