AB  - Infections  of  the  chest  wall,  although  uncommon,  are  important  problems  for  thoracic  surgeons.  The  severity  of  these  infections  can  range  from  relatively  minor  and  inconvenient  problems  to  life-threatening  situations  that  require  urgent  and  aggressive  care.  Since  most  surgeons  will  see  only  a  small  number  of  cases  in  their  careers,  an  organized  approach  to  management  is  essential.  In  this  chapter,  we  present  our  preferred  methods  of  classification,  and  we  review  the  various  aspects  of  management.  Specific  topics  of  significant  importance,  for  example,  poststernotomy  sternal  infections  and  mediastinitis,  are  covered  in  other  chapters  in  this  text.
