LUNG
ABSCESS
LUNG ABSCESS
• A lung abscess is circumscribed, purulent infection contained with the lung
parenchyma
• Most lung abscesses arise as a complication of aspiration. As such, they are
typically poly-microbial and indolent in onset.
• Less commonly, lung abscesses complicate acute mono-microbial infections
with pyogenic bacteria.
• Lung abscesses can also result from secondary infection of pre-existing lung
cavities, bronchial obstruction, septic embolization, or direct extension from
local infections such as empyema.
CLASSIFICATION
 PRIMARY LUNG ABSCESSES result from direct infection of the pulmonary
parenchyma in an otherwise healthy person. Most result from aspiration and,
less commonly, from infection with pyogenic bacteria (eg, S. aureus).
 SECONDARY LUNG ABSCESSES occur when there is a predisposing
condition such as bronchial obstruction (eg, foreign body, neoplasm),
hematogenous spread (eg, right-sided endocarditis), or immunocompromise.
PATHOGENESIS
1. Aspiration
2. Hematogenous spread - Septic embolization during bacteremia (eg,
tricuspid valve endocarditis, intravascular catheters, intravenous (IV)
drug use, or Lemierre syndrome [ie, jugular vein suppurative
thrombophlebitis])
3. Direct extension- Extension of an empyema, subphrenic, or
mediastinal abscess or a tracheo- or broncho-esophageal fistula.
4. Bronchial obstruction – Endo-bronchial obstruction from a (eg,
aneurysm, lymphadenopathy, tumor), bronchial stenosis, or from an
inhaled foreign body may result in post-obstructive pneumonia that
progresses to abscess formation presumably from poor local drainage.
5. Super-infection or spread of airway infection – May develop as a
super-infection of pulmonary infarcts, congenital malformations, or lung
contusion. Flares of bronchiectasis can lead to parenchymal infection
that evolves into a lung abscess in a minority of patients.
PNEUMONIA CAUSED BY PYOGENIC BACTERIA
1. Staphylococcus aureus
2. Klebsiella pneumonia
3. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
4. Streptococcus pyogenes
5. Burkholderia pseudomallei
6. Hemophilus influenza type b
7. Legionella
8. Nocardia
9. Actinomycoces
10. Streptococcus pneumoniae

    LUNG ABSCESS • Alung abscess is circumscribed, purulent infection contained with the lung parenchyma • Most lung abscesses arise as a complication of aspiration. As such, they are typically poly-microbial and indolent in onset. • Less commonly, lung abscesses complicate acute mono-microbial infections with pyogenic bacteria. • Lung abscesses can also result from secondary infection of pre-existing lung cavities, bronchial obstruction, septic embolization, or direct extension from local infections such as empyema.
  • 55.
    CLASSIFICATION  PRIMARY LUNGABSCESSES result from direct infection of the pulmonary parenchyma in an otherwise healthy person. Most result from aspiration and, less commonly, from infection with pyogenic bacteria (eg, S. aureus).  SECONDARY LUNG ABSCESSES occur when there is a predisposing condition such as bronchial obstruction (eg, foreign body, neoplasm), hematogenous spread (eg, right-sided endocarditis), or immunocompromise.
  • 56.
    PATHOGENESIS 1. Aspiration 2. Hematogenousspread - Septic embolization during bacteremia (eg, tricuspid valve endocarditis, intravascular catheters, intravenous (IV) drug use, or Lemierre syndrome [ie, jugular vein suppurative thrombophlebitis]) 3. Direct extension- Extension of an empyema, subphrenic, or mediastinal abscess or a tracheo- or broncho-esophageal fistula.
  • 57.
    4. Bronchial obstruction– Endo-bronchial obstruction from a (eg, aneurysm, lymphadenopathy, tumor), bronchial stenosis, or from an inhaled foreign body may result in post-obstructive pneumonia that progresses to abscess formation presumably from poor local drainage. 5. Super-infection or spread of airway infection – May develop as a super-infection of pulmonary infarcts, congenital malformations, or lung contusion. Flares of bronchiectasis can lead to parenchymal infection that evolves into a lung abscess in a minority of patients.
