Abstract

Inspite the emergence of potent and broad spectrum antibiotics and recent advances in bronchoscopy and pulmonary physiotherapy, still there is a high rate of morbidity and mortality because of LUNG ABSCESS. The objective of this study is the indication of risk factors which have undesirable effects on the prognosis of lung absecess. In a retrospective study, all cases of lung abcess who was confined to bed during 1994 to 1999 in Rasht were collected and analysied.From 52 cases, 40 (77%) were male and 12 (23%) were female. The mean duration of stay was 20 day (15 to 35). The secondary cause for lung abcess was as follows:10 cases (19%) COPD, 10 cases (19%) preumonia, 15 cases (29%) bronchiectasia 2 cases lung cancer, 2 cases lung hydatid cyst and 3 case atelectasia. Extrapulmonary causes of lung absecsswere consist of: 10 case (10%) aspiration, 10 case (19%) esophageal diseases tending to reflux, 5 case (9%) periodontal disease. The factors which had underiable effects on prognosis of diseas were lung cancer, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, age over 60, abscess with pseudomonas, absecess cavity greater thus 8 cm, lower lobe in right lung and TB.Because of high morbidity and mortality of LUNG ABSCESS, due attention for internal drainage, bronchoscopy, physiotherapy and timed surgery are seriously indicated.
