Necrotizing pneumonia (NP), also known as cavitary pneumonia or cavitatory necrosis, is a rare but severe complication of lung parenchymal infection. [1] [2] [3] In necrotizing pneumonia, there is a substantial liquefaction following death of the lung tissue, which may lead to gangrene formation in the lung.

While rare, necrotizing pneumonia is a severe and potentially life-threatening manifestation of lung parenchyma infection. Initially documented in the 1940s, it was a significant contributor to mortality rates in both adults and children, with figures reaching up to 45%.

Necrotizing pneumonia is a rare and severe complication of bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Lying on a spectrum between lung abscess and pulmonary gangrene (1, 2), necrotizing pneumonia is characterized by pulmonary inflammation with consolidation, peripheral necrosis and multiple small cavities (3).

Purpose of review: Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe form of community-acquired pneumonia characterized by rapid progression of consolidation to necrosis and cavitation which may lead to pulmonary gangrene. Morbidity and mortality are high and chronic sequelae are frequent.

2024年12月19日 · Necrotizing pneumonia refers to pneumonia characterized by the development of necrosis within infected lung tissue. While the term has been used synonymously with cavitating pneumonia in some publications 1, not all necrotizing pulmonary infections may be complicated by cavitation.

2024年9月9日 · While rare, necrotizing pneumonia is a severe and potentially life-threatening manifestation of lung parenchyma infection. Initially documented in the 1940s, it was a significant contributor to mortality rates in both adults and children, with figures reaching up to 45%.

Necrotizing pneumonia is a rare complication of community-acquired pneumonia, characterized by lung parenchymal destruction in affected areas. It has been sporadically documented over the years, mostly with insidious progression and a higher incidence among individuals with …

2024年11月10日 · While rare, necrotizing pneumonia is a severe and potentially life-threatening manifestation of lung parenchyma infection. Initially documented in the 1940s, it was a significant contributor to mortality rates in both adults and children, with figures reaching up to 45%.

2017年2月1日 · Necrotizing pneumonia refers to the development of necrosis, liquefication, and cavitation of the lung parenchyma from an infectious pathogen. Nearly 4% of all community-acquired pneumonias are necrotizing, although studies retrospectively evaluating the incidence have found it to be increasing duri …

2024年11月17日 · Necrotizing pneumonia (NP) is a severe form of pneumonia characterized by the destruction of lung tissue, often resulting from a bacterial infection. This condition is...
