Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a form of interstitial lung disease that develops in response to acute lung injury. SARS-CoV-2 causes a wide range of lung and extrapulmonary disease, but there are few data suggesting an association between COVID-19 and OP. We describe a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia who developed severe progressive OP with significant morbidity.
COVID-19 pneumonia is one of the secondary causes of organizing pneumonia (OP).Early initiation of steroids in OP is associated with improvement in symptoms and prognosis.A prolonged course of steroids may be needed in COVID-induced OP.
机化性肺炎(OP)是一种间质性肺疾病,由急性肺损伤引发。严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)可导致多种肺部和肺外疾病,但鲜有数据表明2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)与OP之间存在关联。我们报告一例COVID-19肺炎患者,该患者发展为严重的进行性OP,伴有明显的发病率。
COVID-19肺炎是机化性肺炎(OP)的继发性病因之一。OP早期使用类固醇与症状改善和预后相关。COVID-19诱发的OP可能需要延长类固醇疗程。
