We report a case of an adult patient with COVID-19 pneumonia presenting as pneumatoceles as a late complication. These pneumatoceles are steroid-resistant and can predispose to cavitary lesions. These cystic lesions need close follow-up with repeat imaging as these can increase the risk of pneumothorax. It can take up to around 12 weeks for the spontaneous resolution of pneumatoceles.
我们报告了一例 COVID-19 肺炎成年患者作为晚期并发症出现肺大疱。这些肺大疱对类固醇治疗抵抗,并且可能导致空洞性病变。这些囊性病变需要密切随诊,重复影像学检查,因为它们可能增加气胸的风险。肺大疱的自发缓解可能需要长达 12 周的时间。
