概要	UNLABELLED: We presented three cases of influenza-related severe pneumonia/empyema that occurred in one season. CASE 1: A 76-year-old diabetic man, developed empyema as a result of severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) secondary to Haemophilus influenzae, as confirmed on sputum culture. Nasal swab was positive for influenza A antigen. After drainage of empyema, intravenous peramivir and piperacillin/tazobactam were administered for 3 days and 2 weeks, respectively, followed by oral levofloxacin for 2 weeks. Eventually, he recovered. In this case, the isolated H. influenzae was non-typeable and negative for beta-lactamase. CASE 2: A 55-year-old man with suspected cerebral infarction and diabetes mellitus (DM) developed severe pneumonia/empyema as result of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). Although influenza A antigen was detected, no bacterium was isolated from the sputum, blood, or pleural effusion. He showed severe hypoxia, but recovered after administration of peramivir and levofloxacin with prednisolone for 5 days and 2 weeks, respectively. CASE 3: A 76-year-old woman with heart failure and DM was followed-up on an outpatient basis and was under nursing home care for four
