| Popis: | Summary We present a case of empyema caused by overinfection of pleural fluid secondary to pulmonary thromboembolism, with negative progress, and the symptoms still persisting after optimum anticoagulant treatment. Given the patient′s negative progress, the possibility of an onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is considered. The diagnosis of onset RA should be considered for unexplained pleural effusion, even though negative rheumatoid factor. |
