    An abscess is a pocket of pus that develops within the body tissue. Abscesses are classified as acute or chronic, superficial or deep. They are usually caused by bacterial infection entering through a break in the skin or mucous membranes. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Pseudomonas. Diagnosis involves physical examination, aspiration, ultrasound, CT or MRI imaging. Treatment involves drainage of pus, antibiotics, and dressing changes. Complications can include spread of infection, rupture into surrounding tissues, and impaired organ function.

    • Abscess:
    An abscess is a circumscribed area of
    inflammation or an abnormal cavity that
    contains pus if matured.
    Suppration The process of formation of
    pus is called suppration Suppration is caused
    by bacteria like
    Staphylococcus,
    Streptococcus,
    Pseudomonas ,
    E. coli etc.
    Irritants like turpentine,calomel,corton oil
    also cause suppration

    • CLASSIFICATION OF ABSCESS
    1. Acute or hot abscess
    2. Chronic or cold abscess
    3. Superficial abscess
    4. Deep abscess
    5. Sterile abscess

    ACUTE ABSCESS CHRONIC ABSCESS


    Onset
    Rapid or immidiate delayed
    Duration
    Few days months or years
    C.Agent
    Bacteria injured viral autoimmune,
    Tissue foriegn body
    Majour Cells
    Neutrophill, mononuclear cells
    Basophills, lymphocytes,
    Macrophages fibroblast
    Outcomes
    Resolution tissue destruction
    Abscess formation fibrosis
    Chronic inflamation necrosis

    STERILE ABSCESS
    An abscess caused by an irritant like
    injecting medicine that was not completely
    absorbed called as sterile abscess.This is not
    caused by infection.Symptoms are
    pain,swelling.

    • ETIOLOGY OF ABSCESS:
    The main cause of abscess are
    pyogenic bacteria such as
    -Sterptococcus spp
    -Staphylococcus spp
    -Pseudomonas aeruginosa
    -Actinomyces bovis
    -Actinobacillus lignieresi
    Foreign bodies escaping to rib cage.

    • PATHOGENISIS:
    Any breach in skin and mucous membrane
    ↓
    Pyogenic bacterial invasion
    ↓
    Formation of pyogenic membrane
    ↓
    Body immunity fails to fight
    ↓
    Finally abscess develops

    • Symptoms of Abscess:
    Fever with spikes and chills,Local pain
    and tenderness,Anorexia, Weight loss,Fatigue
    are observed usually.
    • Signs of cutaneous and subcutaneous
    abscesses are pain, heat, swelling, tenderness,
    and redness. • If superficial abscesses are
    ready to spontaneously rupture, the skin over
    the center of the abscess may thin,
    sometimes appearing white or yellow because
    of the underlying pus (termed pointing).The
    predominant manifestation of some
    abscesses is abnormal organ function (eg,
    hemiplegia due to a brain abscess).

    TERMINATION OF ABSCESS
    The normal consequences of abscess are-
    -Pointing or maturating
    -Rupture
    -Draining

    ⚫ Diagnosis:
    -Diagnosis of cutaneous and subcutaneous
    abscesses is by physical examination
    -Aspiration test
    -Ultrasonography
    -CT
    -MRI
    .
    -Diagnosis of deep abscesses often requires
    imaging.
    -Ultrasonography is noninvasive and detects
    many soft-tissue abscesses;
    -CT is accurate for most cases
    -MRI is usually more sensitive.

    • Differential Diagnosis:
    Abscess should be differentiated from
    -Cyst
    -Haematoms
    -Hernia
    -Tumor
    -inflamation
    • Treatment of Abscess:
    Maturation:
    -Hot fomentation
    -Fomentation with boric sulfate,magnesium
    sulphate.
    -Blister.eg.Bin iodide of mercury.

    Drainage
    -Control of animal
    -Clipping
    -shaving of the operation site
    -Washing with antiseptics such as povidone
    iodine
    For Large animal
    -LA: 2%Lidocaine HCl
    -Sedative: Xylazine HCl
    For small animal
    -GA: Thiopental

    Opening of Abscess:
    -Abscess is opened with scalpel incision is
    always towards the gravity
    -Insert an artery forceps into the abscess
    cavity.
    -A blunt dissection is done without damaging
    blood vessels and nerved.
    -Pierce the secondary pocket.
    -Wash with saline and antiseptics
    -Introduce even folded gauze soaked with
    antiseptic solution.
    -Prescription on Abscess for 100 kg BWT
    Rx
    inj. Streptopen (procaine pencilline,benzyl
    pencilline and streptomycine)---------2.5gm
    vial × 7 Sig. inject one vial IM daily for seven
    days
    inj. Hista vet(H1 receptor blocker)--------10gm
    vial × 2 Sig. inject 5 ml IM once daily for four
    days

    • Management of Abscess:
    -Renew gauze( MgSO4 guaz lymph levage
    action absorbs water) in every alternate day.
    -Suture is prohibited
    -Size of gauze to be reduced according to the
    size of cavity.
    -Vitamin supplement is contraindicated.
    ⚫ Complications:
    -Bacteremic spread
    -Rupture into adjacent tissue
    -Bleeding from vessels eroded by
    inflammation
    -Impaired function of a vital organ
    -Inanition due to anorexia and increased
    metabolic needs
    -Antibioma(Hard swelling containing sterile
    pus caused by long term use of antibiotics to
    treat abscess. This lump require surgrical
    exploration.
    -Sterile abscess
