Abstract Although pneumothorax is a well-known complication of COVID-19
pneumonia especially in patients requiring mechanical ventilation,
bronchopleural fistula causing persistent pneumothorax in sole COVID-19
pneumonia is extremely rare. In this case, we illustrate that
bronchopleural fistula can be found in COVID-19 pneumonia, even with no
risk factors nor mechanical ventilation administration.
