Abstract

We present a case of multilocular lung abscess caused by Aeromonas hydrophila, found in both sputum and bronchial washing. No aspiration or other significantly contributory medical conditions were found. We believe this to be the first report of lung abscess caused by this organism in a previously healthy individual.
