Abstract
Parvimonas Micra, a Gram-positive anaerobic coccus, has been implicated in a range of infectious conditions affecting immunocompromised individuals, particularly those with diabetes or malignancies. It is considered a key pathogen associated with chronic apical periodontitis and has been identified in several non-oral infections, including purulent spondylitis, infective endocarditis, and discitis. However, there is a paucity of comprehensive and systematic research on the pathogenesis of Parvimonas micra-induced empyema. This case report aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying empyema development in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, to enhance clinical diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies for such cases.
