Empyema Caused by Mixed Infection with Streptococcus intermedius and Streptococcus constellatus in a Patient with Previous Surgery for Oral Carcinoma: A Case Report
This case highlights the possibility of concurrent infection with two SAG strains in patients with empyema. Currently, it is unclear whether there is a definitive relationship between a surgical history of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth and empyema caused by infection with SAG strains. This case could, perhaps, serve as a reference for future related research on the topic.
