SARS-COV2 pandemic has spread like wildfire and has affected all the countries worldwide. The virus mainly affects the lungs and has numerous manifestations. The development of spontaneous pneumatocele and pneumothorax has rarely been reported in the literature, especially in spontaneously breathing patients. We report two cases of COVID-19 patients who developed these complications after discharge from our hospital. These complications are uncommon but can be potentially fatal and the treating physician should keep these complications as differential while managing such cases.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV2）大流行如野火般迅速蔓延，影响了全球所有国家。该病毒主要侵袭肺部，有多种表现形式。文献中很少报道自发性肺大疱和气胸的发生情况，尤其是在自主呼吸的患者中。我们报告两例新冠肺炎患者，他们在我院出院后出现了这些并发症。这些并发症并不常见，但可能会致命，治疗医生在处理此类病例时应将这些并发症列为鉴别诊断的考虑因素。
