Rapidly Developing Bilateral Loculated Streptococcus Pyogenes Empyema in an Immunocompetent Adult: A Case Report.
Streptococcus pyogenes is a rare cause of empyema, especially in immunocompetent individuals. The organism expresses various virulence factors leading to rapid progression of the disease. We report a case of rapidly progressing bilateral loculated empyema caused by streptococcus pyogenes in an immunocompetent host without additional risk factors.
