Post-therapeutic pneumothorax (PNX) empyema is now rare due to antitubercular drugs. This case study revives Monaldi's 1935 physiopathological theories, proving their enduring relevance.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical History

Context:

  • Post-therapeutic pneumothorax (PNX) leading to empyema is a rare complication in contemporary medicine.
  • The advent of effective antitubercular drugs has significantly reduced the incidence of such conditions.
  • This study addresses a specific case that highlights the persistence of this rare clinical event.

Purpose:

  • To describe a rare case of post-therapeutic PNX empyema.
  • To re-evaluate and demonstrate the continued applicability of Monaldi's 1935 physiopathological theories.
  • To underscore the historical context and enduring value of established medical theories.

Summary:

  • The authors present a case of empyema occurring after pneumothorax therapy.
  • The case is analyzed through the lens of physiopathological theories proposed by Monaldi in 1935.
