Bronchopleural fistula and bilateral pneumothorax in a patient with COVID‐19

Abstract

Abstract COVID‐19 pneumonia causes several complications that include pneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, empyema, and rarely leads to bronchopleural fistula (BPF). BPF is a communication between the pleural space and the bronchial tree. We report a case of 24 years man with pneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, and BPF that appeared after COVID‐19 infection.
