Popis: A late consequence of COVID-19, organizing pneumonia is characterized by significant imaging and pathological abnormalities. The goals of this study are to better understand these abnormalities. The use of corticoid continues to be the recommended course of treatment for COVID-19. On the other hand, it is not clear whether or not corticoid has the same impact on organizing pneumonia after COVID-19. A 53-year-old male patient was identified with organized pneumonia following COVID-19 infection. He was diagnosed after experiencing severe respiratory symptoms several days with no improvement. We initiated a high dose of corticoid based on imaging and pathological findings and observed a significant response. In addition, we looked into the research that has been done concerning the diagnosis and treatment of this peculiar ailment. Patients who have been diagnosed with pneumonia after COVID 19 are required to undergo a reevaluation that includes a chest CT scan, and some of these patients may be candidates for an early lung biopsy. The most effective and convincing therapy for COVID-19-induced organizing pneumonia is corticoid treatment at a dose equivalent to 0.5 mg/kg/day of prednisone.
