Lung abscess is a microbial infection of the lungs that results in pulmonary parenchyma necrosis. Meticulous history taking, physical examination, and prompt diagnostic workup are necessary for establishing the diagnosis. Antibiotics are the cornerstone for lung abscess’ treatment with size less than 6 cm.
