Bacteriological examinations of 65 patients with abscesses of lungs and pleuritis have shown that non-sporulating anaerobic bacteria were isolated in 85% of purulent foci (without a concomitant aerobic microflora). Express-methods of diagnosis taking only 30-40 minutes give opportunities for early etiotropic therapy. Best results of treatment of anaerobic abscesses of lungs and pleuritis were obtained by a combination of sufficient drainage with the purposeful antianaerobic therapy.
