Abstract

Point‐of‐care lung ultrasound is a widely used tool in the diagnosis and management of patients with pulmonary diseases and now with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. We describe two cases of pneumothorax which are, as far as we know, among the first reported in COVID‐19 patients younger than 18 years. The diagnostic and monitoring role of point‐of‐care lung ultrasound has been extremely useful in the management of patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
