Faridi, Piyush Gupta] Empyema thoracis, a serious complication of pneumonia, fortunately remains a less common cause of respiratory distress in neonates. Only 14 cases of neonatal empyema thoracis have been described in the world literature. The condition is characterized by its rarity, inability to identify any consistent predisposing factors, uncertain pathogenesis, rapid course, lack of consensus on management and a high mortality. We describe here two cases of empyema aged 6 and 8 days caused byE. Coli and Klebsiella respectively. Out of them one survived. A brief review of literature follows the above account.
