Streptococcus pneumoniae: A cause of primary lung abscess in a child.

K S Macdonald1, V M de Carvalho, L Liebert, J E Embree.   

Abstract

A case of primary pneumococcal lung abscess in a five-year-old child is described. Secondary anaerobic infection as a cause of cavitation was excluded by bronchoscopic culture of the cavity. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a rare but recognized cause of lung abscess in healthy children.
