Abstract
We report a 12-year-old diabetic boy with a right-sided parapneumonic effusion and pneumonia who failed initial empirical antibiotics. Prevotella pleuritidis was identified from the pleural fluid using next-generation sequencing-based clinical metagenomics with cultures of pleural fluid and blood resulting negative. The patient responded well to intravenous meropenem followed by oral metronidazole.
