Abstract
|
|
|
1) Thirteen cases of lung abscess 8 male and 5 female were studied clinically and
treated conservatively in our department during 9 months from November 1958. The age
of the majority cases varied between 21 and 40 years,
2) Seven cases were probably primary, caused either by aspiration of foreign bodies
or pneumonias. Five cases were secondary of bronchiectasis and bronchial tumor
obstruction, 1 case was obscured.
3) Bacterial cultures of sputum showed no dominant bacteria in most cases and there
were only 2 subcute, the others were all in the chronic stage.
4) The cases were located to the right lung and specially in the lower lobe. Superior
and posterior basal segments of the lower lobe were the major location in the cases due
to aspiration.
5) Postural drainage seems to be of the same importance as continuous adequated
antibiotic treatment. Two cases were complicated with localized emopyema.
