abstract: Under study were results of treatment of 109 patients with lung abscess aged from 17 to 76 years. All the patients were treated by active antiinflammatory therapy, bronchosanitation measures. In addition, local treatment by transthoracal punctures and drainage of the abscess cavity was used. Patients of the main group (52 patients) were given transthoracal injections of 0.5% solution of papain. The inclusion of papain in the complex therapy of patients with a lung abscess allowed to improve results of the treatment of this severe disease. The method may be recommended for wide use in pulmonology.
