The most frequent cause of empyema is pneumonia. Anyone who has had chest surgery runs the risk of developing empyema if bacteria get into the wound.

A medical ailment known as empyema affects the pleural space, which is the region between the lungs' outermost layer and the inner lining of the chest wall. The purpose of this area is to aid with lung expansion and contraction. Recent pneumonia serves as the primary risk factor for empyema. Others include being older than 70, having just been hospitalized, having undergone chest surgery, or having experienced trauma. Empyema typically manifests outside of a hospital and tends to be less severe in low-risk populations. The following conditions increase a person's risk of developing empyema. Heart disease, diabetes, and prior cancer a persistent obstructive pulmonary disease lung condition Drug use intravenously could possibly increase the incidence of uncomplicated empyema.

Explain the relationship between alcohol and other drugs used by adolescents and the role these substances play in STDs.
Anni [7]

Alcohol and drugs can alter people's judgment. They may take risks that might expose them to HIV that they would not take when sober.

 Sharing needles to inject drugs (such as heroin, speed, or anabolic steroids) is VERY dangerous and can easily spread HIV (and other serious diseases) from one person to another.

 Some people who are addicted to drugs may trade sex for drugs or money to get more drugs. This may put them at greater risk of HIV, especially if they do not always practice safe sex.
