Abstract

Akciğer apsesi; aspirasyon ya da mikrobiyal klirens mekanizmalarındaki yetersizlik olması sonucu akciğer parankiminde nekrozun eşlik ettiği süpüratif akciğer infeksiyonudur. Eski yıllarda akciğer apsesi önemli bir mortalite ve morbidite nedeni iken anaerop antibiotik tedavilerinin artması sonucu insidans ve mortalite oranları azalmıştır. Buna rağmen hala %15-20 oranında mortaliteye sahiptir. Anaerobik antibiyotikler son derece etkili olmasına rağmen, bazı durumlarda cerrahi müdahale gerekebilir. Altı cm ve daha büyük boyutlar çoğu kaynak tarafından cerrahi girişim veya drenaj endikasyonu olarak belirtilmiştir. Bizim vakamız 12 cm ile cerrahi sınırın tam iki katı büyüklüğe sahipti. Solunum sıkıntısı ve rüptür riski mevcuttu. Standart rejimlerle tedavi edilerek tama yakın düzelme sağlandı. Böylece hem cerrahi bir girişimin komplikasyonlarından korunmuş oldu hem de apsenin büyüklüğü ne olursa olsun klasik tedavi rejimlerinin etkinliği gösterilmiş oldu.

An Extremely Large Lung Abscess; Surgical or Medical Treatment

Abstract

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.
