ORGANIZING PNEUMONIA: AN UNUSUAL SEQUELA OF COVID-19 INFECTION

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...

Sumario: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. LEARNING POINTS: 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.
