Abstract

Introduction: SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) is a serious and global infection that has spread to numerous countries, including Iran. Pneumothorax may occur in cases of COVID-19 as a consequence of lung parenchymal damage, which can disrupt the healing process and increase mortality. Case Presentation: This manuscript describes the case of a 2-year-old boy with hyper IgM syndrome and COVID-19 infection. The patient developed spontaneous pneumothorax and recovered without chest tube by supportive care and was discharged in good general condition after the completion of the antibiotic course and cessation of fever. Conclusions: The severity, prognosis, and best treatment for spontaneous pneumothorax in COVID-19 infection, especially in children, remain nebulous. It is recommended that conservative treatment be performed if the patient has stable vital signs and no severe respiratory failure. However, this requires more detailed clinical evaluations.

一例新冠肺炎儿童自发性肺炎
简介:SARS-CoV2(新冠肺炎)是一种严重的全球感染,已传播到包括伊朗在内的许多国家。在新冠肺炎病例中,肺实质损伤可能会导致肺炎,这可能会破坏愈合过程并增加死亡率。病例介绍:这份手稿描述了一例2岁男孩患有高IgM综合征和新冠肺炎感染。该患者出现自发性肺气肿,通过支持性护理在没有胸管的情况下康复,并在完成抗生素疗程和停止发烧后出院,总体状况良好。结论:新冠肺炎感染,特别是儿童自发性肺气肿的严重程度、预后和最佳治疗仍不明确。如果患者生命体征稳定且无严重呼吸衰竭,建议进行保守治疗。然而,这需要更详细的临床评估。
