Lung abscess; It is a suppurative lung infection accompanied by necrosis of the lung parenchyma as a result of insufficient aspiration or microbial clearance mechanisms. While lung abscess was an important cause of mortality and morbidity in the past, incidence and mortality rates decreased as a result of the increase in anaerobic antibiotic treatments. Despite this, it still has a mortality rate of 15-20 percent. Although anaerobic antibiotics are extremely effective, surgery may be required in some cases. Sizes 6 cm and larger are indicated by most sources as an indication for surgery or drainage. Our case was 12 cm in size, exactly twice the surgical margin. There was respiratory distress and risk of rupture. Almost complete recovery was achieved by treatment with standard regimens. Thus, both the complications of a surgical procedure were protected and the effectiveness of classical treatment regimens was demonstrated regardless of the size of the abscess. |
