Pulmonary cavitation associated with coronavirus infection: case report

Abstract

The disease caused by SARS COV2 initially identified in the city of Wuhan - China, covers a wide spectrum of respiratory conditions, mostly mild presentations; however, with a percentage of potentially lethal pathologies such as ARDS. There are also findings whose association with the new coronavirus is still uncertain; pleural effusions, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, pulmonary cavitations, have been described in patients with SARS COV2 infection. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of pulmonary cavitation in the context of the disease caused by SARS COV2 in a Hospital in Quito-Ecuador.
