Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease affecting the general population worldwide. A fever and cough are the common clinical presentations of COVID-19. In most of these patients, computed tomography (CT) shows bilateral peripheral ground-glass opacities. We herein report a case of hemoptysis and lung bulla in the convalescent phase of COVID-19. Based on the clinical observations, alveolar destruction was likely associated with hemoptysis and bulla formation. Therefore, we suggest the follow-up of COVID-19 patients whose clinical parameters indicate alveolar damage, even after their symptoms improve.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种影响全球普通人群的新型传染病。发热和咳嗽是COVID-19的常见临床表现。在大多数这些患者中,计算机断层扫描(CT)显示双侧外周磨玻璃影。我们在此报告1例COVID-19恢复期咯血和肺大疱病例。根据临床观察,肺泡破坏可能与咯血和肺大疱形成有关。因此,我们建议对临床参数显示肺泡损伤的COVID-19患者进行随访,即使在其症状改善之后。
