AB Empyema  and  bronchopleural  fistula  (BPF)  are  two  distinct  yet  intimately  related  entities.  They  may  occur  together  or  independently,  and  they  share  similar  etiologies.  The  management  of  each  process  has  proved,  over  several  centuries,  to  be  a  daunting  task  that  requires  sound  clinical  judgment  and  a  resilient  patient.
