    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the short-term consequences of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection on pulmonary diffusion in patients with severe (but not critical) and moderately severe COVID-19 pneumonia during three months after COVID-19 infection.
    Methods: A prospective study included 81 patients with an RT-PCR-test confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 infection treated in the COVID Department of Lung Diseases of University Clinical Hospital Mostar. Inclusion criteria were ≥18-year-old patients, COVID-19 infection confirmed using real-time RT-PCR, radiologically confirmed bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia, and diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) one and three months after COVID-19 infection. The pulmonary function was tested using the MasterScreen Body Jaeger (Jaeger Corporation, Omaha, USA) and MasterScreen PFT Jaeger (Jaeger Corporation, Omaha, USA) according to American Thoracic Society guidelines one and three months after COVID-19 infection.
    Results: Forced vital capacity significantly increased three months after COVID-19 infection compared to the first-month control (p<0.0005). Also, a statistically significant increase in the FEV1 value (p<0.0005), FEV1%FVC ratio (p<0.005), DLCO/SB (p<0.0005), DLCO/VA value (p<0.0005), and total lung capacity (TLC) (p<0.0005) was observed in all patients.
    Conclusion: Our study showed that recovery of DLCO/VA and spirometry parameters was complete after three months, while DLCO/SB was below normal values even after three months. Therefore, one month after the COVID-19 infection patients had partial recovery of lung function, while a significant recovery of lung function was observed three months after the COVID-19 infection.

    Abstract Bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and usually leads to life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Treatment of patients with ARDS is difficult and usually involves protective mechanical ventilation and various types of recruitment maneuvers. A segmental lung recruitment maneuver by independent lung ventilation has been described as a successful recruitment maneuver in patients with lobar pneumonia, and may, therefore, be useful for the treatment of patients with bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by ARDS in the critical phase of the disease when all other therapeutic options have been exhausted. The aim of this case series was to present a case report of four mechanically ventilated patients with severe bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by ARDS using the segmental lung recruitment maneuver. The effect of the segmental lung recruitment maneuver was assessed by the increase in PaO

    Abstract Thromboembolic events with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, such as pulmonary embolism, have been described in recent literature as a manifestation in patients during their hospital admission. Our case report describes a delayed manifestation of bilateral pulmonary embolism in a patient who was discharged home. The patient is a 40-year-old COVID-19 positive male that presented to the emergency department eight days after his discharge with shortness of breath and diaphoresis. On triage, the patient was hypoxic and tachycardic, prompting a high index of suspicion for pulmonary embolism. Computed tomographic angiography of the chest was performed confirming the presence of a bilateral pulmonary embolism. Subsequently, the patient was started on heparin and transferred to a tertiary facility for thrombectomy.  Pulmonary embolism is a manifestation of acute COVID-19 infection. It is important for clinicians to have an increased suspicion for pulmonary embolism in patients presenting with worsening dyspnea and hypoxia who were recently admitted for acute COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients that were hospitalized for acute presentation of COVID-19 infection should reasonably be considered for extended anticoagulant therapy after discharge.

    Abstract Recurrent pyogenic effusion combined with bilateral pneumothorax is a rare complication associated with the COVID−19 infection. Current article presents the case report of a 68-year-old male with the severe community-acquired bilateral polysegmental viral COVID−19 pneumonia. Chest radiography on the 15th day after admission to the hospital showed the presence of air and pleural effusion in the right pleural cavity with collapse of the right lung. Thoracentesis and thoracostomy in the sixth intercostal space on the mid-axillary line were performed. About 1400 ml of a yellowish opaque liquid were evacuated from the pleural cavity. Pleural fluid analysis confirmed an exudative lymphocytic-rich effusion with no growth of acid-fast bacteria (AFB). In the pleural fluid such gram-negative bacteria as Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were cultured. Chest computed tomography obtained on the third day after thoracentesis showed radiological sings of bilateral hydropneumothorax. Needle thoracocentesis and new pleural drainage in the second intercostal space on the right midclavicular line were established. Five days later after the second drainage of the pleural space was initiated the patient was diagnosed with pleural empyema and transferred to the Surgical Clinic. This case report highlights that in patients with COVID-19 recurrent pyogenic effusion combined with bilateral pneumothorax may occur.

    Abstract With an increasing number of cases of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), various neurological complications have been reported; however, some of these have not been fully elucidated. We herein report on 2 cases in which lesions at the bilateral globus pallidus and substantia nigra were observed. The patients were a 27-year-old male and a 61-year-old female. They underwent ventilation management due to COVID-19 pneumonia with hypoxemia. However, even after the sedative had weakened, the state of consciousness disturbance was found to have continued. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was performed for both patients. From the bilateral globus pallidus to the substantia nigra of both, the fluid attenuated inversion recovery images and T2-weighted images indicated high intensity, while the diffusion-weighted image resulted in high intensity and low apparent diffusion coefficient. Regarding the 61-year-old female patient, head computed tomography also indicated low density at the bilateral globus pallidus. The patients did not show any improvement in their neurological findings while hospitalized. Although COVID-19 associated with bilateral globus pallidus and substantia nigra lesions are rare, the neurological prognosis may be poor. We believe that attention should be paid to these imaging findings at the onset of consciousness disturbance.
