Bullous lung lesions from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, causing pneumothorax, are a rare complication, affecting up to 1% of infected patients. is an aerobic, gram-negative bacteria known to cause opportunistic infection. We present a rare case of spontaneous pneumothorax from rupture of lung bulla as a late sequela from COVID-19 pneumonia and superinfection of the bulla by . Although superinfection of bullous lesions is known, this is the first reported case of pneumonia in a patient with COVID-19 lung bullae. COVID-19 patients are at heightened risk for bullous lung lesions and superinfection by opportunistic organisms; thus, they should be followed up closely.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)肺炎引起的肺大疱病变导致气胸是一种罕见的并发症,影响多达1%的感染患者。[此处原文缺失细菌名称]是一种已知会引起机会性感染的需氧革兰氏阴性菌。我们报告了一例罕见病例,该病例由COVID-19肺炎的晚期后遗症肺大疱破裂导致自发性气胸,并伴有[上述缺失细菌名称]对肺大疱的二重感染。虽然已知肺大疱病变会发生二重感染,但这是第一例报告的COVID-19肺大疱患者发生[上述缺失细菌名称]肺炎的病例。COVID-19患者发生肺大疱病变和机会性生物体二重感染的风险增加;因此,应对他们进行密切随访。
