Resumen
RAICES, Micaela; THEAUX, Jacinto; MONTAGNE, Juan y DIETRICH, Agustín. Emergency pulmonary lobectomy in a patient with severe hemoptisis due to COVID-19. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2021, vol.81, n.6, pp.1048-1051. ISSN 0025-7680.
The most common symptoms in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are fever, cough, odynophagia, headache, myalgia, and diarrhea. A much smaller percentage have dizziness, rhinorrhea, and hemoptysis as associated symptoms. However, the great magnitude that this second wave acquired, can make this last com plication appear more frequently. This report describes the case of a 49-year-old patient with a history of recent COVID-19 infection with requirement of mechanical ventilation due to respiratory failure, who developed during hospitalization in the general ward with parapneumonic pleural effusion and episodes of persistent hemoptysis that required surgical treatment. During surgery, a significant fibro-adhesion process and a congestive lung with focal increased consistency and areas of necrosis were found.
