Abstract
ABSTRACT
Organizing pneumonia is a clinical and pathological syndrome that describes a lung injury caused by an inflammatory reaction in the alveolar connective tissue. Classified as an interstitial lung disease, it can be secondary to infection, drug toxicity, connective tissue disorders, inhalation injuries (cocaine), organ transplant, or radiotherapy, and also can be idiopathic. Although organizing pneumonia is not a new phenomenon, it has been noted to be a complication of COVID-19, and should be considered in patients who have had COVID-19 and have atypical chest imaging, because treatment includes corticosteroids instead of antimicrobials.
