RESUMEN
ABSTRACT The prevalence of respiratory complications subsequent to COVID-19 pneumonia is currently unknown, but the data obtained from previous coronavirus outbreaks may provide important information. The preliminary evidence supports the hypothesis that some survivors could develop long-term respiratory sequelae, being the pulmonary fibrosis the most important. We report three cases of patients hospitalized in the ward with moderate to severe COVID-19, never requiring mechanical respiratory assistance (MRA). Follow-up computed tomography scans after discharge showed images compatible with post-pneumonia pulmonary fibrosis.
