The cause of pyothorax in children?

summary

A colleague hasn't come to work recently. We have a very good relationship. I feel very puzzled. I called her and she said that the child is ill and the lung inflammation, especially the pneumonia near the visceral pleura, can spread directly to the pleural cavity. Lung abscess or combined cavity directly burst into the pleural cavity. Trauma of chest wall, lung or esophagus. Mediastinal infection spreads to the pleura, such as spontaneous rupture or perforation of the esophagus. Subphrenic abscesses spread to the pleural cavity through lymphatic vessels. Let's take a look at the following.

The cause of pyothorax in children?

First, it must be noted that this disease is mainly caused by the direct invasion of pleural or lymphoid tissue by pathogenic bacteria in the pulmonary infection foci. Most of them developed from pneumonia. Lung abscess and bronchiectasis are not uncommon. Such as mediastinitis, subphrenic abscess, and chest trauma, operation or puncture and other operations, direct pollution may also be caused, sepsis can also be caused.

Second: we must know that most of the children with this disease have high fever and poisoning symptoms, and those with no obvious compression symptoms should be treated with a large number of systemic antibiotics or traditional Chinese medicine. In the period of infiltration and diffusion, it is better to draw pus at an early stage. It is better to open the lung quickly and close the pus cavity within 3 days. 　

Third, it is necessary to understand that pleural empyema usually occurs on one side, especially in the lower back, and can also be seen between the two lobes, or between the lower lobe and the diaphragm. With the location and amount of pus, the compression symptoms vary. If a large amount of pus fills the affected thoracic cavity and fails to discharge in time, the lung may collapse, resulting in mediastinum and heart displacement, damaging cardiopulmonary function.
