A case of empyema and lung abscess in an elderly patient who presented with clinical features of congestive cardiac failure is described.Gemella morbillorum was cultured from pleural exudate found postmortem to be associated with a lung abscess. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of infection with this organism in this setting. We discuss the clinical spectrum and management of infection with this infrequently encountered organism. |
