Description

Excerpt from Guy's Hospital Reports, 1877, Vol. 22 Of those that proved fatal, 17 were on the left side, 15 on the right, and one double. It has been said that empyema on the right side is more likely to be associated with disease of the lung, and therefore it is attended with more risk to life. The actual facts as obtained from these cases appear to be these with right empyema tubercular disease of the lung was found twice; a tubercular affection of other viscera, but not of the affected lung, once. Pneumonia occurred four times. Abscess of the lung, probably secondary to the empyema, twice; in all eight cases of lung disease. With left empyema tubercle was present three times, and old induration with grey hepatisation once. One case was probably pyaemic in all four cases. It might have been supposed that whatever increased risk attached to disease on the right iside from the greater frequency of disease of the lung on that side, it would have been counterbalanced by the risk of extension of inflammation to the pericardium, which empyema on the left side would run. It does not appear that this is so, seeing that the percentage of deaths is decidedly larger for disease on the right side. These tables give a mortality of 59 per cent. To right empyema, only 36 per cent. To that on the left side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
