Multiple Massive Bullae Formation Within Lung of SARS-CoV-2-Infected Patient
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has altered the world for more than two years and continues to impact the globe in numerous ways. This disease has a wide spectrum of presentations that can range from no symptoms at all to rapid decline and death. Complications of SARS-Co...

description | Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has altered the world for more than two years and continues to impact the globe in numerous ways. This disease has a wide spectrum of presentations that can range from no symptoms at all to rapid decline and death. Complications of SARS-CoV-2 include acute respiratory failure, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute liver injury, acute cardiac injury, septic shock, blood clots, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, and chronic fatigue. Although many complications such as these and others exist, we are still seeing novel developments related to the virus. In this case report, we present a patient with SARS-CoV-2 who concurrently had a massive left lung bulla of unknown etiology. Due to the size and scale of this bulla, we suspect it to be a complication of his SARS-CoV-2 infection. A few cases have been described in the literature beforeand here we would like to contribute another one. Our goal is to help expand the body of evidence demonstrating the far-reaching and atypical nature that SARS-CoV-2 can present with today. |
