ABSTRACT
Pleural empyema is characterized by presence of pus or microorganism in the pleural fluid. Most cases of empyema in children are caused by bacterial pneumonia, and the most common pathogen is Staphylococcus areus or Streptococcus pneumoniae. But other uncommon causes of empyema include esophageal rupture, mediastinal disease, tumors, sepsis, thoracic trauma, and surgery can be produced by various pathogens. We experienced a case of Escherichia coli empyema followed by gastroenteritis in 9-year-old boy.
