case_images: We repeated an emergency thoracic radiography which revealed a higher amount of pleural effusion, and thus a surgical drainage was performed inserting a pleural tube for 7 days (Figure 1).

case_images: On the 5th day of Levofloxacin we performed a thoracic computed tomography which showed lung window-encapsulated pleural effusion (Figures 2, 3), and we suppressed the thoracic drain tube.

case_images: We repeated the laboratory tests after 7 days of Clarithromycin and they were all within the normal ranges, as well as the thoracic radiography which revealed a diminished quantity of encapsulated pleural effusion (Figure 4).
case_images: Thoracic radiography after 6 months revealing only minimal thickening of the inferior right pleura.
