Hydropneumothorax as a complication of necrotizing pneumonia.
Introduction: Hydropneumothorax with a bronchopleural fistula is an infrequent but severe complication of necrotizing pneumonia associated with high morbidity and mortality. Few cases in the adult population have been reported.
Case report: This is a case of a 76-year-old male patient who developed pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae complicated by hydropneumothorax. He was managed conservatively with chest tube placement but denied surgical management and eventually died despite initial improvement.
Conclusions: Early recognition and appropriate management of pneumonia complications, such as hydropneumothorax, including thoracic surgeon interventions, are crucial as this complication can be fatal. Factors like the patient's overall status, preferences, and comorbidities may have a crucial effect on clinical decisions and outcomes.
