Abstract
Nowadays, lung abscess is a rare purulent infection of the lung. In recent decades, its frequency has significantly decreased in connection with the widespread use of antibiotics. Recently, the number of patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis with central venous catheters has increased significantly. One of the most common complications in these patients is catheter-associated infections. Although rare, cases of metastatic infectious foci have also been described. We report two clinical cases of pulmonary abscess secondary to catheter-associated infection in hemodialysis patients with a tunneled catheter and provide a brief overview of the problem.
