She was found to have a R sided loculated effusion on chest CT and E.coli bacteremia for which she was placed on zosyn. She had a chest tube placed in the effusion which was drained and fluid did not grow any invasive organisms and the effusion was transudative per Light's criteria. She was initially in ICU on BiPAP but was able to be transferred out after a few days. Her chest tube was removed on 10/28 after effusion was improved on CXR.   She is back down to her home oxygen but patient continued to complain of chills and generally not feeling well. Another CT chest was obtained which showed increase in bilateral pleural effusions (although still small in volume) which the R side appears loculated. [1] Resting comfortably this morning.
