摘要：

Even after more than a year, novel Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) clinical presentation and complications are still being reported. We present a 75-year-old patient with culture-negative pleural empyema a month after COVID-19 resolution without re-infection. We hypothesize that culture-negative empyema can be present in patients with immune defect, e.g., elderly or diabetic patients, and prior antibiotic exposure. Empyema after COVID-19 resolution may be related to delayed inflammation improvement in chronic disease, which resulted in the patient's more vulnerability to secondary infection.
