Classification

Based on duration

Acute If symptoms are present for less than 6 weeks before presenting to medical care
Chronic If symptoms persist for more than 6 weeks

Based on Etiology

Primary When Abscess develops among patients who were healthy previously or with high risk factors such as those prone for aspiration

Aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions
Immunodeficiency conditions like HIV
Necrotizing pneumonitis

Secondary When abscess develops among patients with an underlying lung abnormality

Bronchial obstruction
Hematogenic dissemination
Infection spread from mediastinum
Coexisting Lung Diseases

Based on mode of spread

Bronchiogenic

Aspiration of Oropharyngeal secretions
Bronchial obstruction by Tumor
Foreign body, Congenital Malformations and Enlarged LymphNodes

Hematogenic

Infective endocarditis
Abdominal Sepsis
Septic Thromboembolism

Risk Factors

Common risk factors in the development of lung abscess are

Common Risk Factors

Elderly( age >65)
Alcoholism
Artificial ventilation
Coma
Neuromususcular disorders with bulbar disfunction
Convulsions
Inability to cough
Bronchial obstruction

Less Common Risk factors

Drug abuse
Dental/peridental infections
Malnutrition
Therapy with corticosteroids
Cryostatic's or immunosuppressants
Mental retardation
Gastroesophageal reflux disease
