ABSTRACT
@#The use of a combination of intrapleural fibrinolytics or tissue plasminogen activator(tPA) Alteplase and deoxyribonuclease (Dnase) has been increasing for cases of complicated pleural infection/parapneumonic effusion worldwide. Its efficacy and success rate in selected cases of complicated parapneumonic effusion unresponsive to antibiotics and chest drainage are well documented. This case report demonstrates the first use of combination intrapleural fibrinolytic (Alteplase) and DNAse (Pulmozyme) in Malaysia for a case of pleural infection/parapneumonic effusion.
