The same regularities of Metapathia hunter-picture

Acute purulent processes are characterized by smaller than gangrenous abscesses size, often insufficient spontaneous drainage with heterogeneous diffuse distribution of achromogenic inclusions of air against isochromogenic background, absence of walls and sequesters. At adequate treatment we detected a positive dynamics in form of abscess cavity decreasing with simultaneous decreasing of fluid content amount and replacing by air. Further on a cicatrix was formed at the spot.
Chronic lung abscesses are characterized by the same regularities of Metapathia hunter-picture as acute ones. Diagnostic criteria are the quantitative ratio of purulent exudate and achromogenic air inclusions and their spatial distribution in a cavity. We singled out 4 types of chronic abscess depending on efficiency of its spontaneous drainage through bronchi: without access to bronchi (pseudo-tumorous), with insufficient spontaneous drainage, with free spontaneous drainage and an abscess with air pocket.
