In very few severe patients, there are residual lesions and fibrosis. Since SARS-CoV-2 is a new disease, the healing process of infected pulmonary lesions is not well known and is variable. </p><p>Case presentation: This is a case report of a 51 year old COVID-19 infection patient, who initially presented with ground glass opacities and consolidation but eventually developed large pulmonary cavity and fibrosis in the involved lobes during the course of disease.</p><p>Conclusion: Most of the patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 show near complete resolution of the lesions with mild residual opacities, however few patients develop complications in the course of disease.</p> | ||
