[Long-term results of conservative treatment of pyo-destructive diseases of the lungs and parapneumonic empyema].
An analysis of results and treatment outcomes of 178 patients has been made. The patients were examined 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after discharge from hospital. The parameters characterizing residual cavities, pneumofibrosis, pleural fibrosis and changes in the bronchial tree were analyzed. Recovery was noted in 172 patients (96.63%). According to CT scan data positive dynamics in the reparative processes in the lungs and pleural cavity could be seen. No relapses of the purulent processes and development of lung cirrhosis were noted.
