Introduction
Coronavirus belongs to RNA viruses that cause respiratory, neurologic,
enteric, and hepatic diseases distributed among mammals, including
humans and birds (1). A novel coronavirus discovered in late 2019 in
China caused Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). It is associated with
complications like severe viral pneumonia, ARDS, AKI, cardiac injury,
liver dysfunction, spontaneous pneumothorax, lung cavitation, pleural
effusion, pericardial effusion, along with other minor ailments like
fever, loss of smell, myalgia, dry cough, lymphadenopathy (2) (3).
Pneumothorax due to COVID-19 pneumonia is very rare, and few cases are
reported with bronchopleural fistula-associated persistent pneumothorax
while recovering from COVID-19 pneumonia (4) (5) (6).
