Material and Methods: This descriptive study was performed in 1991-2001 in Imam Reza hospital. 31 patients with EMPYEMA following PNEUMONIA admitted and treated in pediatric and surgical wards. Various methods of treatment and related factors evaluated. These methods include antibiotic therapy, thoracocentesis, CHEST TUBE insertion, open surgery with DECORTICATION. Patient response evaluated with improvement in general condition and clinically. Pleural thickening in CT per se doesn't need additional treatment. Fibrinolytic drugs such as streptokinase and urokinase didn't used. Results: The patients divided in two groups. Group 1 includes 23 patients and had response to antibiotics and CHEST TUBE drainage of pleural cavity. Group 2 includes 8 patients that need to DECORTICATION. 3 patients undergo pneumonectomy due to lung abscess.
