Overview
Factors resulting in altered level of consciousness and decreased immune response play a key role in the development of lung abscess includes alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, neurological disorder and bronchial obstruction.[1]
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Alcoholism[2]
- Seizure disorder
- Mechanical ventilation
- Decrease level of consciousness
- Neuromuscular disorders with bulbar dysfunction[3]
- Nocturnal aspiration [4]
- Bronchial obstruction
- Gingivo-dental sepsis
- Diabetes mellitus
- Immunosuppression[4]
