Abscess of the thymus is a rare condition that is caused by a bacterial infection of the thymus, an organ located in the chest behind the sternum. it is often caused by bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, and haemophilus influenzae, which can enter the thymus through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. the infection can then cause the thymus to become inflamed, leading to the formation of an abscess. symptoms may include chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. treatment typically involves antibiotics and, in some cases, surgical drainage of the abscess.
