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

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.
