AB Complex  thoracic  infections  frequently  present  in  the  form  of  complicated  pneumonia,  loculated  pleural  effusion,  empyema,  or  pulmonary  abscess.  If  not  treated  appropriately,  they  can  become  chronic  infections  complicated  by  resistant  bacterial,  viral,  or  fungal  organisms.  The  indolent  nature  of  these  complex  infections  and  the  high  rate  of  antibiotic  resistance  may  end  in  extensive  parenchymal  destruction,  recurrent  infections,  and  a  disseminated  infectious  process.
