ABSTRACT
Pneumothorax appears to be a common clinical state. Iatrogenic pneumothorax occurs commonly after procedures such as transthoracic needle biopsy, pleural biopsy, positive pressure ventilation, etc. Diagnosis of iatrogenic pneumothorax is often delayed. Broad spectrum anti-infectives appear to be benefi cial in reducing the infections, especially when chest drains are inserted. Garenoxacin, a potent quinolone with its unique structural modifi cation appears to have an edge over other respiratory quinolones.
