    Abstract Pulmonary pneumatocele is a cystic, air-filled lesion in the lung parenchyma. It results from underlying inflammation or bronchial injury. It is seen in several lung pathologies including bacterial pneumonia, positive-pressure ventilation, chest trauma, chemical pneumonitis, and is most often seen in infants and children. On imaging, pneumatoceles appear as rounded, thin-walled, air-filled spaces in the lung parenchyma. The exact mechanism for forming pneumatoceles is not fully understood but thought to be due to a check-valve mechanism due to obstruction by inflammation causing air trapping in the damaged lung. These lesions are asymptomatic and transient in most patients and disappear by about 6 weeks. They usually do not require any specific treatment or intervention. Surgical intervention is only necessary when pneumatoceles cause cardiopulmonary compromise or rupture into the pleural space. We describe a case of a young adult who developed a pneumatocele after developing acute respiratory distress syndrome from community-acquired pneumonia treated with positive-pressure ventilation. He was managed conservatively with complete resolution of symptoms.

    Abstract Bacterial coinfections are not uncommon with respiratory viral pathogens. These coinfections can add to significant mortality and morbidity. We are currently dealing with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which has affected over 15 million people globally with over half a million deaths. Previous respiratory viral pandemics have taught us that bacterial coinfections can lead to higher mortality and morbidity. However, there is limited literature on the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and associated coinfections, which reported infection rates varying between 1% and 8% based on various cross-sectional studies. In one meta-analysis of coinfections in COVID-19, rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae coinfections have been negligible when compared to previous influenza pandemics. Current literature does not favor the use of empiric, broad-spectrum antibiotics in confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections. We present three cases of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections complicated by Streptococcus pneumoniae coinfection. These cases demonstrate the importance of concomitant testing for common pathogens despite the need for antimicrobial stewardship.
