Resumen

Los autores revisan once casos de infecciones pulmonares por anaerobios, tres asociados con empiema, cuyo diagnóstico bacteriológico se hizo por análisis de muestras obtenidas por punción transtraqueal o del exudado pleural. Se comentan los factores predisponentes y algunos datos clínicos y radiológicos de interés. A la vista de los resultados destacan que el tratamiento de elección es el antibiótico, reservándose el quirúrgico para los casos de empiema y para determinadas condiciones subyacentes.

Summary

The authors review eleven cases of pulmonary infections by anaerobes, three associated with empyema. The bacteriological diagnosis was made by analysis of samples obtained by transtracheal punction or the pleural exúdate. They comment on the predisposing factors and some clinical and radiológical data of particular interest. In the light of the results the authors emphasize that the treatment of choice is antibiotic, reserving surgical treatment for cases of empyema and for determined underiying conditions.
