Overview
Lung abscess has been a disease entity since the days of Hippocrates. Postural physiotherapy had been the mainstay of treatment until Harold Neuhof described his concept of new one-stage open drainage for the acute abscess in 1930's. With the invention of antibiotics in late 1940's and their promising results led the change in management of lung abscess.
Historical perspective
- In 1904, Guillemot first put weight to the theory that aspirated oropharyngeal organisms were responsible for cause of lung abscess[1]
- In 1920-1930, Harold Neuhof was the first thoracic surgeon to develop a valid and reliable therapeutic concept of new one-stage open drainage operation for surgery of acute pulmonary abscess.[2]
- In 1938, first cutaneous drain of lung abscess was performed.[3]
- In 1942, Brock added evidence in stating that aspirated contents gravitated to the dependents part of the lungs
- In 1946,owing to the advent of antibiotics, and treatment of acute putrid lung abscess with penicillin showed good results and henceforth patients received antibiotics rather than surgical procedures[2]
