Abstract COVID‐19 infections that occur at least 2 weeks after complete vaccination are known as breakthrough infections. Herein, we report a clinical case resembling breakthrough infection that was correlated with a higher score of COVID‐19 pneumonia on chest computed tomography (CT) in a patient who resulted positive for the delta variant and who died during the hospitalization.
