title: [Surgical treatment of lung abscesses in children].
abstract: The authors report their clinical observations of 44 patients, aged from 2 months to 14 years, with acute pulmonary abscesses. As evidenced by the authors a roentgenological examination in dynamics is of great value in establishing the diagnosis of pulmonary abscess, since it makes possible to follow the destruction of lung tissues and the formation of cavities. For treatment of lung abscesses different methods were employed: toilet bronchoscopy with antibiotics perfusion, puncture and drainage of the abscess, in case of pulmonary hemorrhage a resection of the lung portion involved, the complex conservative therapy.
