Intracavitary and systemic daptomycin for successful treatment of a postpneumonectomy intrathoracic infection. [PublishAheadOfPrint]

Treatment of an infected postneumonectomy cavity is very difficult. We present a patient with an infection of a postneumonectomy cavity by Staphylococcus epidermidis treated with local daptomycin for different dwell times, maintaining high antibiotic levels over minimum inhibitory concentration. Clinical and microbiological cure were achieved successfully.
