  • Descrição: Parapneumonic effusions, as a complication of inflammatory processes in the lungs, usually have a good course, but they sometimes progress into pulmonary empyema, thus becoming a significant clinical problem. To review clinical and radiological features, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic options in parapneumonic effusions. The analysis included 130 patients with parapneumonic effusions hospitalized at the General Pulmonology Clinic of the Institute for Pulmonary Diseases of Vojvodina, Sremska Kamenica during 2013. Of 385 patients with pneumonia, 130 (33.8%) had parapneumonic effusion, 78 (60.0%) of whom were males. Most patients (361; 27.7%) were 60-69 years of age. The most common symptoms included fever (92; 70.8%) and cough (91; 70.0%). Hypertension was the most common comorbidity registered in 81 (62.3%) patients, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease present in 33 (25.4%) patients. Pleural puncture was performed in 62 (47.7%) patients. Macroscopically, effusion was clear in most cases (31; 50.0%), and cytologically the mixed type was most frequently established (26; 41.9%). Bronchoscopy was performed in 52 (40.0%) patients, and video-assisted thoracoscopy in 9 (6.9%) patients. Empyema signs were registered in 13 (10.0%) patients; in all a thoracic drainage with administration of intrapleural streptokinase was performed. Patients with a parapneumonic effusion have the symptoms of acute respiratory infection and frequent concomitant diseases. Further diagnostic and therapeutic treatment depends on pleural fluid features and chest CT finding.
