ABSTRACT
100 patients with empyema were selected and subjected to full history, careful clinical evaluation and laboratory investigation. 7 cases showed positive isolation with mycoplasma [7%], while isolation of mycoplasma from the upper air passages of normal children were positive in 2%. Cultures and sensitivity tests to antibiotics showed that the erythromycin and tetracyclines are the drugs of choice in managing such cases
