Abstract

Aspergillus empyema occurred in a 69-year-old man six years after pneumonectomy. Exposed silk suture at the bronchial stump acted as a nidus and permitted extension of infection into the pleural space. Resolution was achieved by drainage and removal of the silk suture. The pathogenesis and management of Aspergillus empyema are reassessed in light of these findings.
