title: [Suppurative-destructive complications of acute pneumonia and the principles of their treatment].
abstract: Peculiarities in the development and course of purulent complications in patients with acute pneumonia require a differentiated approach to therapy. The control of clinicoroentgenological stages of the abscess formation of pneumonia taking account of the peculiarities of a purulent process in each patient permits one to resort to differentiated therapy and to plan therapeutic measures until a complete cure of a patient. Effective treatment of a patient with lung suppuration is based on the suppression of purulent infection by massive antibiotics therapy combined with measures aimed at enhancing the defence activity of the body. Of paramount importance at the final stage of therapy is stimulation of reparative processes in the zone of destruction with physical therapeutic factors. Physiotherapy employed in combination with therapeutic measures raises the recurrences and change into a chronic state. Patients after pulmonary abscess formation should be followed up for 1.5-2 yrs.
