Emphyema is a collection of pus in the space between the lung and the inner surface of the chest wall (pleural space)
NOTE: This DX has been since the "beginning" under the RESPIRATORY Category, then move to Respiratory Infection Category, and was only referring empyema in that area not anywhere else.
Causes:
- 20-60% - results from pneumonia
- Thoracic trauma (in about 1-5% of cases)
- Rupture of a lung abscess into the pleural space
- Extension of a non–pleural-based infection (eg, mediastinitis, abdominal infection)
- Esophageal tear
- Iatrogenic introduction at the time of thoracic surgery
- An indwelling catheter that is a nidus (breeding place) for infection
