Summary
This study looked at 350 patients who had surgery to remove pus and debris from the chest cavity (decortication) for severe lung infections (empyema), including tuberculosis. Researchers tracked which germs caused the infections and how patients recovered. They found that drug-resistant bacteria and TB are becoming more common, and patients with positive cultures had more complications after surgery.
