Affecting the respiratory system in both pediatric and adult populations, it typically arises as a complicated parapneumonic effusion secondary to bacterial pneumonia or contiguous aspiration-related infection Pathophysiologically, the condition is characterized by bacterial invasion across the visceral pleura, intense neutrophilic inflammation, acidic pleural fluid with elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and dense fibrin deposition that leads to loculation and pus accumulation within the pleural c...
