| More Details: | Pyopneumothorax following kerosene aspiration is not rare in children, but seldom requires surgical intervention. We report a case of kerosene poisoning in a 25-month-old girl where aspiration pneumonitis progressed to pyothorax in spite of supportive medical therapy. Thoracoscopic drainage was done to prevent on-going lung damage and sepsis. |
