| description | Empyema necessitans (EN) is a rare complication of bacterial pneumonia, especially in children. It can be caused by many infectious agents, but Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most common cause of EN.We report a 3-month-old girl who had EN on the 90th day of life, multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa was isolated from her pleural fluid culture.
