Empyema thoracis with concomitant bacteremia caused by nontuberculous mycobacterium is rare.

The patients clinical condition gradually improved after antibiotic use and drainage.
We report a fatal case of community-acquired empyema thoracis and candidemia caused by Candida albicans. The patient responded poorly to human recombinant activated protein C and intravenous fluconazole treatment and died of profound shock with multiple organ failure 8 days after admission.

Fatal empyema thoracis caused by Schizophyllum commune with cross-reactive cryptococcal antigenemia.
We report a fatal case of Schizophyllum commune empyema thoracis with cross-reactive cryptococcal antigenemia. In vitro testing confirmed the ability of the fungus to cause a positive cryptococcal antigen latex agglutination system (CALAS) test result. Such a result may lead to delay in diagnosis and treatment, as most strains of S. commune are resistant to fluconazole.
