Platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare disorder and its pathophysiology has puzzled clinicians for years. Few cases of POS are described in COVID-19 patients in the literature, with a high variability of conditions related to the syndrome. In this article, we report the case of a patient admitted to our hospital for SARS-CoV-2 interstitial pneumonia, who developed POS during the hospitalization.
Platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a possible and rare condition associated with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.A prompt diagnosis of POS is important in order to start careful and adequate oxygen supplementation.Clinical data on COVID-19 evolution in patients with POS and possible therapeutic and rehabilitative strategies are not available in the literature.
平卧呼吸-直立性低氧血症综合征（POS）是一种罕见疾病，其病理生理学多年来一直困扰着临床医生。文献中关于COVID-19患者中POS病例的描述很少，与该综合征相关的情况差异很大。在本文中，我们报告了一名因SARS-CoV-2间质性肺炎入住我院的患者，该患者在住院期间发生了POS。
