Figure 1 Chest computed tomography scan. A: Right-sided fluid pneumothorax with multiple fluid within it; right lung with multiple exudates, right lower lobe abscesses; B: After drainage of right-sided fluid pneumothorax, the right-sided encapsulated effusion was significantly reduced compared with the previous one, and the pneumoperitoneum had been largely absorbed; the right intrapulmonary exudation and right lower lobe abscess were reduced compared with the previous one; the right middle lobe of the lung was atelectatic; C: Right pleural encapsulated effusion as before; right lower lobe abscess and multiple exudates in both lungs as before; right middle lobe atelectasis was slightly worse than before; D: Right pleural encapsulated effusion absorbed more than before; right lower lobe abscess and multiple right lung exudates reduced more than before; right middle lobe atelectasis as before; E: Right pleural encapsulated effusion was significantly greater than before; right lower lobe abscess and multiple right lung exudates were lesser than before; right middle lobe atelectasis was the same as before; F: Right pleural encapsulated effusion decreased compared to before; right lower lobe abscess and multiple right lung exudates as before; right middle lobe atelectasis as before.
