as evidenced by leukocytosis, continued fever, and progressive signs of local inflammation. Drainage of the abscess is helpful in promoting resolution. It should be carried out if clinical examination or radiographic findings by ultrasound/CT scan are consistent with an abscess or if there is evidence of gas formation. If extensive necrosis or persistence of infection in spite of antibiotics is demonstrated, lobectomy may be required [1,13,16,20]. Debridement of necrotic tissue should be done and the wound is allowed to heal by secondary intention.
