Pyothorax without fistula - what does this mean
Pyothorax without fistula is a condition in which pus accumulates in the pleural cavity without a communication between the pleural space and the outside environment. it is usually caused by an infection in the pleural space, which can occur due to the spread of bacteria from a nearby infection, such as pneumonia, or from a penetrating wound.
What happens during the disease - pyothorax without fistula
Pyothorax without fistula is a condition in which pus accumulates in the pleural space, the area between the lungs and chest wall. it is typically caused by bacterial infection, which can occur due to the spread of bacteria from other areas of the body, such as the lungs, or from an external source, such as a wound. in some cases, the infection can be caused by a weakened immune system or other underlying medical conditions. once the bacteria have entered the pleural space, they can cause inflammation and the formation of pus, which can lead to the accumulation of fluid and the development of pyothorax.
