Abstract

Parapneumonic effusion and empyema thoracis remains a significant source of morbidity in children, though the overall incidence of empyema thoracis has decreased in the past two decades. These conditions pose a dilemma regarding evaluation and treatment for the treating physician. This article discusses the practical strategies in the management of empyema thoracis in children.
