[Treatment of patients with acute lung abscesses by intrapulmonary injections of antibiotics and endobronchial administration of autologous macrophages].

Abstract

The stay in hospital was compared for patients with acute abscesses of the lungs treated according to the standard scheme and a new method of intrapulmonary antibiotic injections and endobronchial administration of actologous macrophages. The proposed treatment proved more efficient, as it resulted in a 12.1 +/- 0.3 day decrease in the duration of hospital stay versus control group on conventional regime.
