Abstrakt: Background: Lung abscess is rare in early infancy. Case characteristics: We report two infants with lung abscess, who presented with short respiratory illness. Intervention: Infants were managed with broad spectrum antibiotics including Clindamycin. Needle aspiration was attempted in one case. Message: High index of suspicion in infants with respiratory distress of prolonged duration can help in reaching the diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
