-== [[Lung abscess epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]] ==
-*The incidence and mortality from lung abscess have greatly declined during the past several decades due to the widespread use of antibiotics and the availability of other treatment options.
-*Incidence also declined in the late 1940s and 1950s, after the practice of performing oral surgery and tonsillectomy in the sitting position was abandoned, as it became clear that this could result in lung abscess formation.<ref name="pmid14039097">{{cite journal |vauthors=SCHWEPPE HI, KNOWLES JH, KANE L |title=Lung abscess.

-*Lung abscess accounts for up to 4.0 to 5.5 per 10,000 hospital admissions each year in the US.
-*It occurs at any age, but most frequently from the sixth to eighth decades, and is predominantly seen in men. <ref name="pmid4834618">{{cite journal |vauthors=Bartlett JG, Finegold SM |title=Anaerobic infections of the lung and pleural space |journal=Am.
