Empyema and Pericarditis by Salmonella Group D Complicating Malignant Thymoma with Pleural Metastasis: A case report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Non-typhoid salmonella infection frequently associated with bacteremia has rarely been reported in immunocompromized patients with malignant neoplasms, diabetes or extended use of corticosteroids. Especially, concomitant pleural empyema and pericarditis due to non-typhoid salmonella infection is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of concomitant empyema and pericarditis in malignant thymoma with pleural metastasis complicated by salmonella group D infection with brief review of literature.
