He developed empyema at neccesitatis from which multiple multiresistant organisms with severe compromise of the pulmonary parenchyma were isolated, which required a right radical pneumonectomy in an attempt to control the infection. He was managed with am-photericin B deoxycholate, meropenem, tigecycline and polymyxin B, despite which he presented worsening of the clinical picture with subsequent refractory septic shock that led to his death.

Palabras clave : recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis; empyema neccesitatis; actinomycosis; pneumonia.
