What is Lung Abscess: Causes and Complications about?
Lung abscess is a localized area of infection and necrosis in the lung tissue, forming cavities containing fluid or debris. Left untreated, complications can include fungal overgrowth, spread to other lung areas, hemorrhage, or fistula formation. Lung abscesses usually result from aspiration of foreign materials or secondary infection, and most commonly occur in the right lower lobe. Treatment involves partial or full lobe resection to remove the abscess.
