| مستخلص: |
Pyopneumothorax is a common complication associated with tuberculosis, especially in patients with lung parenchymal cavitatory lesions. In this publication, we highlight the case of a 43-year-old female patient who presented with chief complaints of dry cough, left-sided chest pain, and dyspnea on exertion. An X-ray of the chest posteroanterior (PA) view, revealed a left-sided moderate pleural effusion with pneumothorax. Immediate intercostal chest drain (ICD) insertion was done and a pleural fluid cytology sample was sent which was suggestive of tubercular empyema and the patient was promptly initiated on anti-tubercular treatment to which she responded well and showed clinical and radiological improvements.
