RESUMO
O abcesso pulmonar é uma doença rara na infância, mas condiciona elevada morbilidade, obrigando a internamento hospitalar prolongado. Surge geralmente em crianças com factores de risco ou co-morbilidades associadas e responde bem à antibioterapia, raramente sendo necessário o recurso a técnicas de diagnóstico ou terapêutica invasivas.
Os autores apresentam dois casos de abcesso pulmonar de grandes dimensões, em crianças, uma delas com risco de aspiração associado, que resolveram completamente com tratamento antibiótico, e fazem uma revisão sobre esta entidade clínica na infância.

ABSTRACT
Lung abscess is a rare entity in childhood, but leads to high morbidity and long length of hospitalisation. It appears commonly in children with risk factors or other disease, have a good response to antibiotic therapy and it is rarely necessary the use of invasive techniques.
Authors present two cases of lung abscess in children, one of them with risk factors to aspiration, that improved with antibiotic therapy and make a revision about this entity in infancy.
