Post covid Lung fibrosis is hot topic now a days. I found most of the post covid shadow resolve without any medication. I hardly see actual case of Lung fibrosis specially after 12 weeks of discharge
Actually I couldn't saw the Radiological Honeycombing pattern after 12 week of post Covid cases. Typically it is seen in Traction bronchiolectasis, paraseptal emphysema.etc
honeycombing really seems to be less frequent than other sequellae types (diffuse alveolar damage, cases which showed predominantly acute, organising or fibrosing patterns). We still can find patients getting septal and non septal lines, reticulations, bronchiectasis, localized fibrosis with no cranio-caudal gradient.
Talking about delay, these lesions take sometimes more than 12 weeks to appear.
Autopsy studies report a higher rate of fibrosing lesions ! still to debate.
