Pyothorax with fistula – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/607238524
The existence of a fistula is suspected when chest radiographs show pleural air-fluid levels and a patient produces more sputum than anticipated when the production of sputum is position dependent. Adequate pleural drainage is particularly crucial in a pyothorax.
