“…As long as no systemic signs of sepsis are present, we refrain from using sys-temic antibiotics. Irrigation of the empty hemithorax through a single chest tube was reported by Provan,5 with a success rate of 50%. In our experience too, irrigation via a single chest tube was sufficient.…”

The treatment for empyema thoracis has been evolving over the years, including the usage of intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy (IPFT), for example, alteplase with intrapleural deoxyribonuclease (DNase) to enhance the drainage of pleural effusion. Here, we report two cases of thoracic empyema that were successfully treated with intrapleural saline irrigation and intrapleural tyloxapol apart from parenteral antibiotics as the pillar of the treatment. Both patients averted surgical procedure (decortication) and were discharged well. Upon follow‐up, both cases showed clinical cure, biochemical recovery, and radiological improvement, indicating a good treatment outcome. This is the first reported cases on combination of saline irrigation with tyloxapol as alternative treatment for pleural infection.
