Imaging of pleural empyema by ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT) is used to confirm the diagnosis and facilitate drainage. However, the information gained from US and CT may also have prognostic significance. The aim of the present study was to determine if CT and US appearances correlated with the severity of infection as determined by established microbiological and biochemical indicators, and to establish whether either technique could predict those patients who will fail drainage and require surgery.
