Case report: Serious community pneumonia COVID-19

Abstract

In early December 2019, a group of patients with bilateral atypical pneumonia were identified in Wuhan. Later, the coronavirus 2 SARS-CoV-2 was identified as the etiological agent, which would receive the name of COVID-19. Currently, this virus is expanding worldwide, becoming a pandemic. Many of these patients require admission to intensive care units. We present the case of a patient treated and discharged from our unit. Despite not involving management that is out of the ordinary, he is a patient prototype of severe community acquired pneumonia due to coronavirus. Pneumonia that we have not faced before and that we are forced to manage in masse. At the beginning of the disease in Europe, we did not have this type of descriptions so we hope it will be helpful.
