As the global COVID-19 pandemic has progressed, awareness of uncommon presentations and complications has increased. The actual incidence of spontaneous pneumothorax was found to be 0.66%, or six patients out of 902 who tested positive in recently published literature of 3368 patients (Zantah M, Dominguez Castillo E, Townsend R, Dikengil F, Criner GJ. Pneumothorax in COVID-19 disease-incidence and clinical characteristics. Respir Res. 2020 Sep 16; 21 (1):236.). Of those six patients, only two (0.22%) were not associated with mechanical ventilation barotrauma or comorbid lung disease such as COPD. Here, we present a spontaneous pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum in a patient four days after he had been discharged from hospitalization due to uncomplicated COVID-19 pneumonia.
随着全球新冠疫情的发展,人们对不常见表现和并发症的认识有所提高。在最近发表的3368例患者的文献中,902例检测呈阳性的患者中,自发性气胸的实际发生率为0.66%,即6例患者(Zantah M、Dominguez Castillo E、Townsend R、Dikengil F、Criner GJ。新冠疾病中的气胸——发病率和临床特征。《呼吸研究》。2020年9月16日;21(1):236)。在这6例患者中,只有2例(0.22%)与机械通气气压伤或慢性阻塞性肺疾病等合并肺部疾病无关。在此,我们报告1例因非复杂性新冠肺炎住院出院4天后出现自发性气胸和纵隔气肿的患者。
