The increasing number of studies published on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia has improved our knowledge of the disease itself and its complications. Despite a considerable number of publications on COVID-19 pneumonia-associated pneumothorax, no article on spontaneous hemopneumothorax has been found in the English-language literature. According to published case reports, pneumothorax generally occurs in hospitalized patients during treatment, whereas cases that arise in the late period after discharge are exceptional. Herein, we present a case of spontaneous hemopneumothorax occurring as a late complication of COVID-19 pneumonia on day 17 after discharge.
关于2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）肺炎的研究数量不断增加，这增进了我们对该疾病本身及其并发症的了解。尽管有大量关于COVID-19肺炎相关气胸的出版物，但英文文献中尚未发现关于自发性血气胸的文章。根据已发表的病例报告，气胸通常发生在住院患者的治疗期间，而在出院后期出现的病例则较为罕见。在此，我们报告一例在出院后第17天发生的自发性血气胸，这是COVID-19肺炎的晚期并发症。
