Among 370 patients with staphylococcic abscessing pneumonia in 55 secondary pulmonary involvement (14.8%) was noted. Acute hematogenic osteomyelitis was the most frequent cause of sepsis. The treatment of patients with secondary staphylociccic abscessing pneumonia is described. The mortality was 40 per cent.

An experience with treatment of 278 patients having various forms of staphylococcic destruction of the lung is discussed. Patients with a pneumopleural form of SLD were predominating. The treatment in such patients should be initiated with draining of the pleural cavity in combination with an intensive therapy. Radical treatment should be conducted only on strict indications. An early diagnosis and timely therapy are felt to be of great importance.
