ABSTRACT

Introduction. Necrotizing pneumonia (NP) is a rare but extremely serious complication of a primary pneumonic infection. It is characterized by pulmonary consolidation and the appearance of multiple cavities and parenchymal necrosis.
Clinical case. A 36-year-old female patient with a history of diabetes mellitus and poor adherence to treatment. Who begins two months earlier with intermittent non-productive cough, which progresses over time to productive purulent, with intensification of the picture adding dyspnea to medium efforts. Therefore, she decided to go to the emergency department for evaluation and treatment, performing posteroanterior radiography and computerized axial tomography finding data suggestive of pneumonia.
Conclusion. It is important to make an early diagnosis and management to avoid serious complications and sequelae of the condition, since in advanced stages radical treatments undermine the quality of life of the patient.
