In this study we report a case of 63-year-old woman with symptoms of pyrexia, malaise, shortness of breath, cough with expectoration and anorexia was admitted to our hospital, showing a homogenous opacity in the left lower mid zone along the peripheral upper zone on a chest radiography was diagnosed with lung abscess of the left side (destroyed lung). Culture reports of brochoscopically obtained lung parenchyma, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and endotracheal aspirates revealed pulmonary abscess caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The current management of acute lung abscess is difficult. Based on culture and sensitivity report patient was put on intravenous Elores (Ceftriaxone/Sulbactam /Disodium edetate- a non-antibiotic adjuvant) and injection amikacin, with support of intravenous (IV) anti-pyretics, IV fluids, nebulization, physiotherapy for postural drainage and other supportive measures, who recovered well.
