Collection of pus in a body cavity, usually in the pleural cavity, is termed: (check all that apply)

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks to identify terms for a collection of pus in a body cavity, with emphasis on the pleural space, and to select all that apply.
Option 1: pyothorax. This term directly refers to pus (pyo-) in the thoracic cavity, specifically the pleural space in many clinical contexts, and is commonly used to describe a pleural empyema. Therefore, it is a correct descriptor for pus in the pleural cavity.
Option 2: empyema. This is the general medical term for pus accumulated within a body cavity, including the pleural space. It is widely accepted as the standard term for pus in the pleural cavity as well, making this a correct choice.
In terms of nuance, empyema is the broader term applicable to any body cavity, while pyothorax is more specific to the pleural (thoracic) cavity. Since the question mentions pus in the pleural cavity, both terms accurately describe the condition in this context, and both should be selected.
