Baker L et al. - The authors describe a 55-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension and schizophrenia who presented to the medical intensive care with delirium and respiratory failure requiring intubation. Chest radiography showed a complete opacification of the right hemithorax. Subsequent chest computed tomography with contrast confirmed a multiloculated right pleural effusion, compressive atelectasis, and mediastinal shift to the left.

Streptococcus acidominimus, a common bacterial pathogen in veterinary medicine, was isolated.
