Fourteen cases of primary lung abscess in childhood were treated with antibiotics alone. The only organism discovered was Staphylococcus aureus. All the children recovered. Roentgenographic abnormalities took from six weeks to more than five years to resolve. Recently, follow-up of 11 of the 14 children was performed an average of nine years after treatment of the abscess. In all children, the clinical status, lung volumes, and expiratory flow rates were normal, except in two with asthma. A conservative approach to the management of primary lung abscess in children is recommended.
14例儿童原发性肺脓肿仅接受了抗生素治疗。唯一发现的病原体是金黄色葡萄球菌。所有儿童均康复。X线异常情况从6周持续到5年多后才得以缓解。最近，对14名儿童中的11名在肺脓肿治疗后平均9年进行了随访。除2名患有哮喘的儿童外，所有儿童的临床状况、肺容量和呼气流量均正常。建议对儿童原发性肺脓肿采取保守治疗方法。
