Autobullectomy with COVID-19 in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease()

A 72-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was admitted for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). He was discharged on day 30; however, he was readmitted 6 days later due to a left lung organizing pneumonia secondary to COVID-19. After methylprednisolone treatment, the patien...

Sumario:A 72-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was admitted for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). He was discharged on day 30; however, he was readmitted 6 days later due to a left lung organizing pneumonia secondary to COVID-19. After methylprednisolone treatment, the patient was discharged on day 15. One year later, computed tomography showed shrinkage of emphysematous lesions, and both total lung capacity measured using computed tomography and fraction of low attenuation volume decreased in the left lung compared to that before COVID-19. Here, we report a rare case of autobullectomy with COVID-19 in a patient with COPD.
