  Abscess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The final structure of the abscess is an abscess wall that is formed by the adjacent healthy cells in an attempt to build a barrier around the pus that limits the infected material from neighbouring structures.
Abscesses may occur in any kind of solid tissue but most frequently on skin surface (where they may be superficial pustules (boils) or deep skin abscesses), in the lungs, brain, kidneys and tonsils.
The drainage of the lung abscess may be performed by positioning the patient in a way that enables the contents to be discharged via the respiratory tract.

An abscess is caused by disruption of a normal tissue barrier through penetrating trauma, bites, established infections, or by migration of normal flora to other sterile areas of the body.
Abscesses of the abdomen may be a mixture of both anaerobic or aerobic gram negative bacilli such as Klebsiella and E. Coli, and anarobes such as Bacteriodes fragiles.
Bear in mind that the abscess itself does not have a blood supply and that the antibiotics are used to prevent reoccurrence and possible spread of infection.

 APStracts 3:0341R, 1996.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Interleukin-6 (IL-6), among other cytokines, is thought to be involved in the regulation of sickness behavior (e.g., anorexia, cachexia, fever, lethargy) induced by infections (bacterial and viral origin) and sterile tissue necrosis (burns, surgical traumas).
Sterile tissue damage was induced in mice by subcutaneous injection of turpentine (0.1 ml; left hindlimb).
We conclude that, although IL-6 is induced during both turpentine abscess and influenza infection, this cytokine appears to be more critical in induction of the symptoms of sickness behavior during sterile tissue abscess than during influenza infection.
