ABSTRACT
Various forms of diffuse parenchymal lung disease have been proposed as potential consequences of severe COVID19. We describe the clinical, radiological and histological findings of patients with COVID19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome who later developed severe organising pneumonia including longitudinal follow-up. Our findings may have important implications for the therapeutic modalities in the late-phase of severe COVID19 and might partially explain why a subgroup of COVID19 patients benefits from systemic corticosteroids.
