Interstitial lung changes and persistent COVID‐19 in a patient with follicular lymphoma: A case report

Abstract

Abstract We herein report a case of interstitial lung changes in a patient with prolonged coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) with follicular lymphoma receiving rituximab and bendamustine who recovered after treatment with a combination therapy consisting of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. There is currently no treatment strategy for prolonged pneumonitis following COVID‐19, which can be life‐threatening for immunocompromised patients. Thus, further investigation is warranted.
