Dynamic bedside lung ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of neonatal lung abscess: a case report.

Neonatal pneumonia (NP) is a common disease, but neonatal lung abscess is a relatively rare but serious complication of neonatal pneumonia. At present, lung ultrasound (LUS) is widely recommended for the diagnosis of pneumonia in neonates and children, but there are few reports of neonatal lung abscess (NLA) ultrasound. In this paper, ultrasound was used to completely record a 26-day old neonate who was hospitalized due to Staphylococcus aureus infection pneumonia. During the treatment process, the pneumonia developed into lung abscess, and puncture and drainage were performed under ultrasound monitoring. After ultrasound intervention and active medical symptomatic treatment, the clinical symptoms and lung ultrasound images were significantly improved, which greatly reduced the x-ray intake during the monitoring of lung disease. After 29 days of treatment, the neonate was discharged. Ultrasound for the dynamic observation of neonatal lung disease bedside, so that clinicians can pay close attention to the treatment effect, and choose the appropriate treatment, to provide reference information for the monitoring and treatment of neonatal lung abscess.
