Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus constellatus rarely causes pyopneumothorax, which is a serious state and requires a surgery. However, not every patient can tolerate surgery and individualized solutions are needed. Furthermore, many known situations are risk factors of S. constellatus infection, but S. constellatus pyopneumothorax associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis has not been reported.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 74-year-old male with multiple encapsulated pyopneumothorax caused by S. constellatus. Given his respiratory failure, we provided two-stage percutaneous right empyema radiography for catheter drainage in the radiology interventional department instead of surgery. Moreover, an occult Hashimoto's thyroiditis was discovered in the patient, which was possibly associated with S. constellatus pyopneumothorax. Levothyroxine was administered to improve his situation.
CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, it is the first case described in this context. We provided an alternative treatment for S. constellatus encapsulated pyopneumothorax in patient who might not tolerate surgery. We also revealed the possible relationship between S. constellatus pyopneumothorax and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
