Abstract

Pyopneumothorax with bronchopleural fistula is a rare complication of lung infection. We herein report a case of pyopneumothorax with bronchopleural fistula caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis infection, a common pathogenic pathogen of periodontitis, in a 49-year-old man with periodontitis. The patient was admitted with respiratory failure. Pleural puncture yielded a lot of gas continually and foul-smelling light brown pus, which was found to be caused due to infection with P. gingivalis by the metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) and anaerobic culture.
