Abstract

Covid-19 ilk olarak Çin'de 2019 Aralık ayında görülmüş olup, yüksek bulaşıcılığa sahiptir
ve tüm dünyada hızla yayılmaya devam etmektedir. Mart ayında Dünya Sağlık Örgütü
tarafından pandemi olarak bildirilmiştir. Covid-19 sonrası pnömoni sık görülür. Yapılan
çalışmalarda sekonder pnömotoraks nadirdir. Görülme oranı % 1-2 arasında olup ciddi
solunum sıkıntısı ve ölüme neden olabilmektedir. Olgu sunumunda Covid-19 nedeniyle
serviste yatan 71 yaşında, ani nefes darlığı ve göğüs ağrısı olan sonrasında satürasyonları
düşünce yapılan görüntülemede sağda pnömotoraks geliştiği görülen hastadan
bahsettik. Covid-19 nedeniyle takip edilen hastalar ani gelişen solunum sıkıntısında
spontan pnömotoraks açısından dikkatli değerlendirilmelidir.

A Case Report with Pneumothorax Associated with Covid-19 Pneumonia

Abstract

Covid-19 was first seen in China in December 2019, and it was highly contagious and It
was reported as a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March. Postcovid-19
pneumonia is quite common. Secondary pneumothorax due to pneumonia is rarely seen
in the literature. Its rate is between % 1-2 and it can cause severe respiratory distress and
death. The hospitalized patients due to Covid-19 suddenly suffered from severe shortness
of breath and chest and imaging revealed right lobe pneumothorax. Physicians should be
careful in terms of pneumothorax in patients with sudden respiratory distress during the
active Covid-19 disease.
