摘要	Background: Pleural empyema can be caused by trichomonas. However, it is rarely caused by tetratrichomonas.Case presentation: Here, we present a rare case of empyema caused by Tetratrichomonas. The patient was an 80-year-old female. She presented to the outpatient unit with a fever of undetermined origin and retention of pleural effusion. The appearance of the pleural effusion collected by thoracic drainage was brown, fetid purulent material. On microscopy, trichomonads were detected in the pleural effusion. On a genetic test, this trichomonad was identified as Tetratrichomonas.Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of empyema caused by Tetratrichomonas in China.
