随着COVID-19病例的出现，与该疾病相关的新并发症被认识到。我们报告了3例COVID-19患者发生自发性气胸的病例。他们表明，气胸可能发生在疾病的不同阶段，在没有肺部疾病史的患者中，不一定与正压通气或COVID-19的严重程度相关。尽管确切的致病机制尚不清楚，但这一观察结果可能意味着COVID-19引起的广泛肺泡破坏可能导致大疱形成，从而导致随后的气胸。
As the number of COVID-19 cases emerge, new complications associated with the disease are recognized. We present three cases of spontaneous pneumothorax in patients with COVID-19. They show that a pneumothorax can occur during different phases of disease, in patients without a pulmonary disease history and is not necessarily associated to positive pressure ventilation or severity of COVID-19. Although the exact causative mechanisms remain unknown, this observation might imply that extensive alveolar destruction due to COVID-19 may lead to bulla formation resulting in subsequent pneumothorax.
