Abstract Organizing pneumonia, a form of interstitial lung disease, may occur in patients who have recovered from COVID‐19. In this article, we report three cases of post COVID‐19 organizing pneumonia, proven histologically with transbronchial biopsies showing fibroblastic plugs in the alveolar spaces. Our patients received a range of 86–166 days of continuous corticosteroid therapy and all of them made excellent recovery.
