摘要：

We report here a 3 month old child with empyema thoracis, who developed complications of diaphragmatic palsy and Horner's syndrome. These complications of empyema thoracis have not been reported earlier. We discuss the possible mechanisms for these complications. © 2006, Dr. K C Chaudhuri Foundation.
