We describe a rare case of a non-immunocompromised 55-year-old man with Trichomonas empyema presenting with bilateral pleural effusion leading to respiratory failure. Examination of the pleural effusion showed numerous motile organisms by fresh wet preparation that were identified as Trichomonas species by Liu stain. The patient was successfully treated with metronidazole, ampicillin/clavunalate, fibrinolytic therapy, and thoracotomy decortication.
