Abstract
Twelve cases of staphylococcal pneumonia and empyema are reported. Roentgenologically, they consisted of 6 cases of pneumonic consolidation with or without pneumatocele formation and with little evidence of pleural disease, and 6 cases with severe pleural disease, empyema or pneumothorax. Attention is particularly drawn to the fact that 3 of the cases of empyema and 1 of pneumonia had good evidence of associated staphylococcal infection elsewhere; i.e., in the skin, bone or middle ear.
