“…Spontaneous hemopneumothorax is a rare disease that might occur with the accumulation of more than 400 mL of blood in the pleural space [7]. Currently, only a few cases of spontaneous hemopneumothorax have been described in the literature [7,11,17] Our paper presents the case of a SARS COV2 RT-PCR positive patient with moderate spontaneous hemopneumothorax.…”

“…The physiopathology of the disease is not currently completely understood [7]. The most common clinical signs are fever (84,5-92,9%), dry cough (40,8-74,4%), dyspnea (10,9-80,4%), fatigue, anorexia and myalgia [11]. The most frequent modification of laboratory analysis findings in current literature includes hypoalbuminemia (30,5-100,0%), increased C reactive protein (21,8-94,7%), elevated lactate dehydrogenase (38,0-76,0%), lymphopenia (18,9-67,3%) and high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (0,0-92,8%) [12].…”

Context: SARS-COV2 infection, the respiratory febrile disease firstly described in China in December 2019, which was declared a pandemic on March 11th, 2020, is associated with multiple air and fluid collections. Spontaneous hemopneumothorax in coronavirus disease 19 (COVID 19) patients is a rare clinical entity described as an unusual complication of severe COVID 19 pneumonia. Objective: The authors used the database of a single COVID 19 treatment center only. In our case series, we encountered a patient with particular hemopneumothorax features that we have decided to present. Method: A 51-year-old non-smoker male with fever and cough lasting for 7 days was admitted to the dedicated COVID 19 unit of "Dr. Carol Davila" Central University Military Hospital Bucharest. The patient developed hemopneumothorax on the 14 th day since the beginning of the symptoms. The thoracic surgeon performed pleural drainage through minimal pleurotomy allowing the evacuation of both air and fluid. Results: Post interventional computed tomography scan showed the remission of hemopneumothorax. The favorable evolution and the negative SARS COV2 screening throat swab test allowed the discharge of the patient on the 25th day after initial diagnosis. Conclusions: In certain situations, COVID 19 pneumopathy may lead to hemopneumothorax with unpredictable evolution, and only a fast therapeutic intervention can save the patient's life.

“…The physiopathology of the disease is still unclear (6). The most common clinical symptoms of the disease are fever (84.5-92.9%), dry cough (40.8 -74.4%), breathlessness (10.9 -80.4%), dizziness, anorexia, and myalgia (7). Most of the reported laboratory changes due to COVID -19 mentioned in previous studies include hypoalbuminemia (30.5 -100%), increased C -reactive protein (CRP) (21.8 -94.7%), increased lactate dehydrogenase (38 -76%), lymphopenia (18.9 -67.3%), and high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (0 -92.8%) (4).…”

Introduction: Spontaneous hemopneumothorax is an unusual complication of pneumonia caused by COVID-19. This study presents a rare case of hemopneumothorax caused by COVID-19. Case Presentation: A 21-year-old man with no medical or surgical history was visited with left shoulder pain. For two days, he suffered from increased pain in his left shoulder, which extended to his neck and back, and he was unable to lean forward. He had no history of chest trauma and no symptoms such as fever, cough, or gastrointestinal symptoms. After the visit, a chest X-ray (CXR) was ordered, and he was admitted with a diagnosis of pneumothorax. A PCR test was performed on the patient that was positive. Conclusions: The patient's pathophysiology of spontaneous Hemopneumothorax disease was unknown. While this is an uncommon complication, spontaneous hemopneumothorax has life-threatening effects at the top of the list of respiratory complications associated with COVID-19.
