On The Visit • Patho-physiology Why? Immune system compensates creating the pus that forms the abscess What is the pus? Mixture of dead cells and the chemical mediators of immune response, fills the area around the site, which is separated from healthy tissue by the formation of an abscess wall.
On The Visit • Treatment plan Antibiotic Clindamycin to treat infection and surgery to remove the puss (incision and drainage) • There is no secondary diagnosis
