“…Despite productive cough, 45 per cent were unable to provide a sample for testing or physician failed to order the tests. Only 13.5 per cent samples were satisfactory for analysis and aetiological agents were detected only in 28.2 per cent of these samples 47 . Antibiotic exposure before LR sampling occurred in 84.8 per cent patients in another study, significantly reducing the culture yield ( P <0.0001; odds ratio: 9.1; 95% CI: 4.1-22.4) 48 .…”

“…Interestingly, they found a higher proportion of inadequate treatment in adjusted than in empirical treatment [22]. While blood culture and Legionella-AG have a high impact, sputum results and pneumococcal antigen testing have a relatively low impact [23]. The low impact of PnAg is not only due to the low sensitivity, as despite a positive result in 5/11 patients treatment was not changed.…”

“…Nesse contexto, valores de LDH > 1.000 U/l, pH < 7,2 e glicose < 50 mg/dL são sinais de aumento do processo inflamatório que podem levar ao espessamento pleural e a formação do empiema. Essa evolução do derrame pleural está relacionada à virulência do microrganismo causador da pneumonia e também à capacidade de defesa do sistema imune do paciente, sendo as complicações mais comuns em crianças, idosos e pacientes imunocomprometidos 12 .…”

“…Brazilian Journal of Health Review, Curitiba, v. 6, n. 2, p.4573-4582, mar./apr., 2023 A drenagem aberta, sem selo d'água, está indicada nos casos de pacientes muito debilitados e com empiemas crônicos (usualmente sem resolução após 30 dias de tratamento), que não suportam procedimentos mais agressivos. Nesta situação, o dreno deve ser lavado frequentemente para a retirada de restos de fibrina, aguardando-se a obliteração espontânea da cavidade ou a melhora do estado geral do paciente para a indicação de decorticação 12 .…”
