Empyema thoracis in childhood in the tropics.
    Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988, Volume: 82, Issue:1

    The management of 25 children with empyema thoracis in Zimbabwe is discussed. The method adopted in 21 of these children using simple drainage and continuous irrigation with 0.1% solution of povidone iodine compared well with more aggressive methods. The method can be carried out easily in a rural environment. 2 of these 21 children died, one because of aspiration. The results among the survivors were good - excellent in 14 of the 21 children and fair in 2. There were no side effects attributable to the povidone iodine. The method failed in 3 patients who had to be dealt with surgically. Staphylococcus aureus was the commonest organism responsible for empyema.
