ABSTRACT

Multiple lung abscesses are defined as a circumscribed, suppurative, bilateral process. They are smaller than 2cm of diameter in the lung parenchyma caused by purulent microorganism; several necrotic cavities were observed. The objective of this work was to report a case where the process was exposed in an atypical presentation. The evolution of a 48- year- old patient, of urban origin with diabetes mellitus history who was admitted due to anthrax in the gluteus region was presented. Surgical treatment and antimicrobial of wide spectrum were given. After seventeen days of treatment, he started presenting some symptoms such as: fever, cough and thoracic pain. A clinical, radiological and microbiological diagnosis of multiple lung abscesses caused by Staphylococcus aurous was made.
