Résumé
The incidence of community-acquired empyema caused by the A 61-year-old male patient who had undergone surgical treatment for floor of the mouth carcinoma 2 year earlier suddenly presented with left-sided chest pain. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed encapsulated pleural effusion on the left side, which was diagnosed as empyema. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS) of the pleural fluid sample indicated mixed infection caused by This case highlights the possibility of concurrent infection with two SAG strains in patients with empyema. Currently, it is unclear whether there is a definitive relationship between a surgical history of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth and empyema caused by infection with SAG strains. This case could, perhaps, serve as a reference for future related research on the topic.

UNASSIGNED
This case highlights the possibility of concurrent infection with two SAG strains in patients with empyema. Currently, it is unclear whether there is a definitive relationship between a surgical history of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth and empyema caused by infection with SAG strains. This case could, perhaps, serve as a reference for future related research on the topic.
