ABSTRACT
We experienced two cases of empyema thoracis which were caused by migrated acupuncture needle. Two patients were transferred from oriental hospitals because of dyspnea and high fever. Simple chest radiography and computed tomography(CT) of the two cases on admission showed haziness of the lower lung and acupuncture needles in the lung and pleural cavity on admission. Removal of acupuncture needles and decortication were performed.
