Figure A illustrates the patient at presentation. Note the amount of fluid present. In Figure B, the
radiograph demonstrates progression of the pleural fluid accumulation with further airspace
disease and scoliosis noted. Despite the radiographic evidence of disease progression, the
patient was clinically improving. Figure C illustrates the radiograph at follow-up, 6 months
following completion of therapy. Resolution of the parapneumonic effusion with no evidence of
pleural thickening or fibrosis occurred.
