The management of postoperative COVID-19 pneumonia in a case with right pneumonectomy

A 61-year-old male patient was hospitalized for the evaluation of a lung mass. The patient underwent right pneumonectomy. Although reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction tests were negative for COVID-19, the diagnosis was supported by thoracic computed tomography. The patient responded to COVID-19 treatment, as evidenced by thoracic computed tomography. This case report highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 in a patient who underwent pneumonectomy, which has high mortality and morbidity rates.

Sağ pnömonektomi uygulanan bir olguda ameliyat sonrası COVID-19 pnömoni yönetimi

Atmış bir yaşında erkek hasta, akciğerde kitle değerlendirmesi için hastaneye yatırıldı. Hastaya sağ pnömonektomi uygulandı. Revers transkriptaz polimeraz zincir reaksiyon testleri COVID-19 için negatif olsa da tanı toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi ile desteklendi. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi ile değerlendirildiği üzere, hastada COVID-19 tedavisine yanıt izlendi. Bu olgu sunumu, mortalite ve morbidite oranları yüksek olan pnömonektomi yapılan bir hastada hızlı COVID-19 tanı ve tedavisinin önemini göstermektedir.
