Abstract

Cavities of the lung are considered to be an atypical and rare finding in COVID pneumonia. In this retrospective study, we report a series of 22 patients who developed large cavities, 2 to 4 weeks from the onset of symptoms. None of them were mechanical ventilated and 18 died within a few days of detection of the cavities. The causes for cavity formation could not be found out in most patients. This suggests that delayed onset cavitation can have a poor prognosis.

摘要

肺部空洞被认为是 COVID 肺炎的一种非典型且罕见的表现。在这项回顾性研究中，我们报告了一组 22 例患者，他们在症状出现后 2 至 4 周出现大空洞。这些患者均未接受机械通气，18 例在发现空洞后数天内死亡。大多数患者无法明确空洞形成的原因。这表明延迟出现的空洞可能预后不良。
