| Abstract: | Experience with three patients with primary ling abscesses indicates that transtracheal catheter drainage of lung abscesses is a safe and beneficial procedure in childhood. The ability to drain abscesses not easily reached percutaneously will promote emptying and collapse of the abscess and provide bacteriological information which will enable the physician to select the correct antibiotics. |
