ABSTRACT
There were over 400 million people with COVID-19 pneumonia worldwide and over 12 million in the Russian Federation after 2020. Complicated course of pneumonia with abscesses and gangrene of lungs was observed in 4% of cases. Mortality ranges from 8 to 30%. We report 4 patients with destructive pneumonia following SARS-CoV-2 infection. In one patient, bilateral lung abscesses regressed under conservative treatment. Three patients with bronchopleural fistula underwent staged surgical treatment. Reconstructive surgery included thoracoplasty with muscle flaps. There were no postoperative complications that required redo surgical treatment. We observed no recurrences of purulent-septic process and mortality.
