Background: Empyema thoracis (ET) is a serious infection of the pleural space. Despite the availability of broad spectrum antibacterial, improved vaccination coverage and better diagnostic tools, Empyema Thoracis remains associated with high morbidity worldwide. Delay   in   early   diagnosis,   failure   to institute   appropriate   antimicrobial   therapy,   multidrug resistant   organisms,   malnutrition,   comorbidities,   poor health  seeking  behaviour  and  high treatment  cost  burden contribute  to  increased  morbidity  in  children. The available  treatment  options  include  intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics  either  alone  or  in  combination  with surgical  procedure  (thoracocentesis,  chest  tube  drainage, fibrinolytic  therapy,  decortications  with  video  assistedthoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open drainage. Methods: Fifty Children between 1 month to 16 years admitted in the Pediatrics Ward, PICU of College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur,Nepal. Data analysis was done by SPSS 24.0. Results: Present study found that according to blood culture, 3(6.0%) patients had enterococcus, 40(80.0%) patients had no growth, 2(4.0%) patients had pseudomonas, 4(8.0%) patients had staphylococcus and 1(2.0%) patients had streptococcus. We found that 20(40.0%) patients had done CT scan thorax, 30(60.0%) patients had not done CT scan thorax and 32(64.0%) patients had Amoxiclav first line antibiotic and 18(36.0%) patients had Ceftriaxone first line antibiotic. Conclusions: Suitable antibiotics and prompt chest tube drainage is an effective method of treatment of childhood empyema, especially in resource-poor settings. Majority of the patients progress on this conservative management and have good recovery on follow up.
