Abstract
in English, French

Empyema and subacute invasive aspergillosis are rare pathologies that should not be overlooked because of the need for early treatment and a different management of bacterial infections which are more frequent. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with subacute invasive aspergillosis and an empyema following drowning and cardiopulmonary arrest.

L’empyème à Aspergillus fumigatus et l’aspergillose invasive subaiguë sont des pathologies rares à ne pas méconnaître au vu de la nécessité d’un traitement précoce et d’une prise en charge différente des infections pleuropulmonaires bactériennes qui sont plus fréquentes. Nous rapportons le cas d’un patient de 75 ans présentant une aspergillose invasive subaiguë, associée à un empyème, dans les suites d’une noyade avec arrêt cardiopulmonaire.

Keywords: Empyema – Aspergillosis; Pleural infection.
