| | Abscess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is important to note that antibiotic therapy alone without surgical drainage of the abscess is seldom effective. | | | In critical areas where surgery presents a high risk (such as the brain), surgery may be delayed or used as a last resort. | | | Warm compresses and elevation of the limb may be beneficial for skin abscess. |

| | Abscess |
| | Abscesses in and around the nasal sinuses, face, ears, and scalp may work their way into the brain. | | | A sterile abscess may cause only a painful lump deep in the buttock where a shot was given. | | | Once the abscess is properly drained, the prognosis is excellent for the condition itself. |

| | Treatment of a deep injection abscess using sterile maggots in a donkey: a case report |
| | It is presumed that the pain of the deep muscle abscess had contributed to the hind limb stiffness and led to increased periods of recumbancy. | | | The abscess was 15cm in diameter and extended deep into the underlying muscle. | | | Throughout the period of treatment the donkey's general mobility improved consistently and there was no further problems with attempting to rise. |

| | Staphylococcal meningitis or brain abscess in neonates or infants is a rarity and is by and large secondary to a dermal sinus. | | | Excluding patients with cranial or spinal dermal sinus, Staphylococcus brain abscess in infants is rare as well. | | | The long-term outcome of neonates with brain abscess is not very promising. |

| | Abscesses and Caseous Lymphadenitis |
| | Occasionally, due to location, an abscess will interfere with body function and may need to be surgically drained or removed. | | | Although not all causes of external masses can be prevented, their incidence can be markedly reduced through good management practices. | | | Determining the correct origin of an external mass requires a detailed history, a thorough physical examination and aspiration or biopsy. |

| | Interesting response to anesthesia in Naja haje annulifera, a banded Egyptian cobra |
| | A large Egyptian cobra (Naja annulifera) bit and envenomated itself dorsal and anterior to its vent, initially causing a large sterile abscess which was opened to reveal inflamed but basically healthy looking tissue. | | | We felt that the hub of the needle would not provide sufficient leverage and might be injurious to the animal's skin, so we placed a 1/2" needle through a sterile red rubber lab tube stopper and tested this on a grapefruit until we were satisfied with our technique. | | | In our experience using local anesthetic permits us to remain at a lighter plane of general anesthesia while keeping the patient comfortable and stable. |

| | 1999 Abstract 151 |
| | A large septic intraperitoneal abscess induced in rats, by implantation of a sterile fecal stromal pellet inoculated with E. | | | This is due to a post-insulin-receptor blockade of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity associated with increased release of muscle amino acids fueling the enhanced gluconeogenesis and urea genesis (1). | | | These data suggest that chronic daily high dose L-carnitine administration given after major sterile or septic abscess induction, reduces net proteolysis (measured by 3-MH excretion) and decreases gluconeogenesis from muscle derived amino acids released by proteolysis with a consequent reduction in ureagenesis. |
