ABSTRACT
According to the literature, exudative pleurisy and pericarditis are considered rare complications of the new coronavirus infection. This estimation can be explained by the fact that statistical studies cover mainly the hospital treatment of this disease. The true frequency of these complications and their consequences are not fully understood. Aim. The study of late complications of the new coronavirus infection in the form of pleurisy and pericarditis. Conclusion. In our case, a 62-year-old patient with the new coronavirus infection confirmed by polymerase chain reaction, severe bilateral polysegmental viral pneumonia, CT3, 60% on day 43 after the onset of clinical symptoms, was found to have manifestations of pleurisy and pericarditis during outpatient treatment. Cardiac MRI is the most informative method for detecting small pericardial and pleural effusions. The diagnostic capabilities of this method are superior to ultrasounography of the heart and pleural cavities and computed tomography of the lungs. Administration of colchicine 1.0 g per day for 1 month allowed not only to the elimination of pericarditis and pleurisy, but also the reduction of pressure in the right ventricle, probably by reducing the damage to the pulmonary parenchyma.Copyright © Chepurnenko S.A. et al., 2023.
