Abstract

Abstract An account is here given of acute intramammary abscess with particular reference to treatment, and the statements we make are founded partly on the literature and partly on our own observations. We have recently been in the position to observe every case of breast abscess treated at St. Thomas's Hospital over a period of about a year. It has been possible to collect 71 cases, and careful records have been kept of each case. Some of these patients were treated in the Out-patient Department, but those that failed to improve, and those in which suppuration supervened during the puerperium, were admitted to the Septic Block, where a certain number of beds were always available.
