Background: COVID 19 has resulted in one of the worst global pandemics in recent history. Post-COVID 19 interstitial lung disease is a significant concern in COVID-19 survivors. It is a disabling clinical condition for the patients and a burden on the healthcare system. With the passage of time and subsequent different waves of COVID 19 across the globe, post-COVID 19 sequelae of lung diseases can be debilitating.
Case Series: We report case series of three patients with persistent hypoxia post-COVID 19, raising concerns for interstitial lung disease in Qatar. We shared our experience of the patient's clinical course, complications, and outcomes in post-COVID 19 sequelae of lung parenchymal disease.
Results: The patients were followed up during and after treatment until recovery or discharge from the hospital.
Conclusion: Through our case series, we want to highlight few points. First, the approach and management strategy of post-COVID 19 lung parenchymal disease patients is individualized. Sequelae of Post COVID 19 interstitial lung diseases do not follow the same course during the follow-up period, and outcomes may differ. Two different entities are reported with regards to post-COVID 19 lung parenchymal disease. Post-COVID 19 fibrotic lung disease and fibrotic-like lesions follow different clinical courses, management strategies, and outcomes. Therefore, further studies for categorization of post-COVID 19 lungs parenchymal disease and adequate follow-up at regular time intervals are required.
