Abstract

Organizing pneumonia, a form of interstitial lung disease, may occur in patients who have recovered from COVID-19. In this article, we report three cases of post COVID-19 organizing pneumonia, proven histologically with transbronchial biopsies showing fibroblastic plugs in the alveolar spaces. Our patients received a range of 86-166 days of continuous corticosteroid therapy and all of them made excellent recovery.<br />Competing Interests: None declared.<br /> (© 2023 The Authors.
