Excerpt

Lung abscesses and gangrene are the most severe clinical manifestation and outcome among acute purulent destructive pulmonary disease (APDPD). Mortality ranges from 10 to 35%, and in the presence of diabetes increases up to 30 to 90% [1]. The main reason for this is the generalization of infection (sepsis), leading to the development of multiple organ failure [2, 3]. The aim of this study was to identify the severity of sepsis in patients with APDPD depending on the presence of type 2 diabetes, and the impact on the forecast. …
