    Chest pain in the elderly with lung abscess is caused by inflammatory lesions involving the pleura, and the pain becomes worse when breathing. If the abscess breaks into the thoracic cavity, it can form empyema and empyema, and it can also form a wrapped empyema due to cellulose wrap. The patient's respiratory movement is limited and the shortness of breath increases.
