Abstract

Background: Lung ABSCESS is a rare and jeopardizing disease particularly in CHILDREN. Early diagnosis of the disease can prevent further complications. Delay in diagnosis not only increases the mortality, but also can lead to severe complications along with the need for surgical intervention. Hence, we decided to evaluate the clinical and para-clinical features of our cases to estimate the magnitude of the problem. Materials & Methods: Data was obtained based on a retrospective study from 1992 to 2004, during a 12-year period in our centre. All the CHILDREN who were admitted in NRITLD with lung ABSCESS were enrolled in the study. Data was collected and analysed considering their age, gender, underlying disease, and aspiration history. Result A total of 17 CHILDREN were identified including 12 boys and 5 girls. 12(70%) CHILDREN were under 10 years of age. Nine had a history of interstitial lung disease while 12 CHILDREN had history of aspiration. The most common complaints were cough (94%), fever (82%), and sputum (82%). Leukocytosis was observed in 76.5% of the cases while 70% showed shift to the left in their blood analysis. 60% of the cases were diagnosed only by CT-scan without any other evaluation. Gram positive organisms (Streptococcus pneumonia 11.6% and Staphylococcus aureus 5.8%) were the most prevalent organisms involved in our cases. Conclusion: According to this study, lung ABSCESS is more prevalent in boys. The most common symptoms are cough, fever, and sputum. Furthermore, we suggest CT scan for diagnosing the disease because of its valuable role in detecting lung ABSCESS in early stages.
