    • If symptoms persist for more than 6 weeks

Based on Etiology

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 due to other associated medical conditions

    • 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
