Ultrasound for identification of pleural fluid in pneumonia

It can be difficult to definitively differentiate between pleural effusion and empyema versus infiltrate alone on plain chest radiographs of patients.However, this is a clinically important distinction that drives optimal therapy, as large fluid collections are unlikely to resolve with antibiotic therapy alone and usually require drainage.Case repo
