    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to complications like atlantoaxial subluxation.
    • Atlantoaxial subluxation can cause recurrent aspiration, increasing infection risk.

    Observation:

    • A 58-year-old woman experienced recurrent aspiration.
    • This was attributed to atlantoaxial subluxation, a known complication of rheumatoid arthritis.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with empyema caused by Streptococcus milleri.
    • Streptococcus milleri is often linked to purulent infections.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights Streptococcus milleri as a potential cause of empyema.
    • Further research is needed to understand the prevalence of S. milleri in empyema cases.
