ABSTRACT
We present the case of a 53-year-old male with complicated left-sided parapneumonic effusion due to Streptococcus intermedius and Prevotella buccae. Management required video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and partial decortication of the left lung. Complications during the hospital stay were extensive, including sepsis, acute hypoxic respiratory failure, alcohol withdrawal, and transient ischemic attack.
