Lung abscess

Lung abscess is a purulent lesion of the lung tissue caused by a variety of causes. Early is purulent inflammation, followed by necrosis to form an abscess. Occurs in middle age, more men than women. There are three types of infections, including tracheal infection, blood-borne infection, multiple abscesses, and blockages of lung cancer. Lung abscesses can also be classified according to the relevant pathogen, such as staphylococcal, anaerobic, or aspergillous lung abscesses. Since the widespread use of antibiotics, the incidence of lung abscesses has been greatly reduced.
