Chest injury with fractured chest bones was detected in 47% of cases. In 52.9% of cases, chest injuries and one stab-cut wound were on the side surface and chest, which was not protected by a bulletproof vest. Lung contusion or contusion pneumonitis was observed in 70.5% of cases, including destruction in 29.4%. Post-traumatic pneumonia was observed in 58.8% of cases, that was caused by a non-hospital and hospital infection, pleuritis was observed in 17.6% of cases. Also, after chest injury, infiltrative-destructive pulmonary tuberculosis was detected in 5.8% of cases and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in 5.8% of cases, so after chest injury, the occurrence of a specific infection that can lead to destruction and aggravate destructive changes in the lung parenchyma should also be taken into account.
