Parapneumonic effusion & Empyema• Stage I : Noninfected exudative
parapneumonic effusion– Simple pleural effusion– Echofree fluid from ultrasound– + pleural enhancement from CT
• Stage II : Fibrinopurulent– Usually loculated pleural effusion– Echogenic fluid, debris, or septation from US– Pleural enhancement on CT
• Stage III : Organizing empyema– Thickened pleura
Bacterial multilobar pneumonia
with simple pleural effusion & complex nonseptated pleural effusion
Complex septated pleural effusion
Echogenic pleural effusion
