Objective: Parapneumonic pleural effusions show a wide range, from minimal-uncomplicated pleural effusions to complicated effusions and empyema. At the present time, the use and benefit of intrapleural streptokinase in complicated cases, in addition to closed chest tube drainage and thoracoscopic methods, is still contraversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intrapleural streptokinase in parapneumonic pleural effusions.
