More than 87% of patients report the persistence of at least one symptom after recovery from the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Dyspnea is one of the most frequently reported symptoms following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS CoV-2) infection with persistent chest radiological abnormalities up to 3 months after symptom onset. These radiological abnormalities are variable and most commonly include ground-glass opacities, reticulations, mosaic attenuation, parenchymal bands, interlobular septal thickening, bronchiectasis, and fibrotic-like changes. However, in this case report, we describe findings of bullous lung disease as a complication of SARS CoV-2 infection. As the pandemic continues, there is a need to understand the multiple respiratory manifestations of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19. We, therefore, present this case to add to the current body of literature describing pulmonary disease as a consequence of SARS CoV-2 infection.
超过87%的患者报告称,在从2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)康复后至少有一种症状持续存在。呼吸困难是严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染后最常报告的症状之一,症状出现后长达3个月胸部影像学异常持续存在。这些影像学异常多种多样,最常见的包括磨玻璃影、网状影、马赛克样衰减、实质带、小叶间隔增厚、支气管扩张和纤维化样改变。然而,在本病例报告中,我们描述了大疱性肺病作为SARS-CoV-2感染并发症的表现。随着疫情的持续,有必要了解COVID-19急性后遗症的多种呼吸道表现。因此,我们呈现此病例,以补充目前描述SARS-CoV-2感染所致肺部疾病的文献。
