Hathewaya limosa Empyema: A Case Report.

Hathewaya limosa , an anaerobic bacterium, has been associated with various infections, including prosthetic valve endocarditis, although its role in empyema remains uncommon. This abstract presents a case report of a patient diagnosed with H. limosa empyema, highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and successful treatment strategies. The case underscores the importance of considering unusual pathogens in the context of empyema. We discuss the clinical management, microbiological identification, and outcomes of this rare infection to contribute valuable insights for healthcare practitioners encountering similar cases.
