Résumé
An eighty-three-year-old man suffered from cough, right chest pain, and progressive dyspnea for sixteen days. He had hypoxemia, high white blood cells and C-reactive protein, and moderate right-sided pleural effusion on radiographic imaging. A pleural fluid examination revealed exudate. He was diagnosed with pleural infection and treated with intravenous ampicillin/sulbactam. On the second day of hospitalization, the treatment was changed to levofloxacin and clindamycin due to drug eruption. He improved gradually and was prescribed only oral levofloxacin on the eighteenth day of hospitalization. However, improvements in inflammation and imaging findings were poor.
