Necrotizing pneumonia due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa secondary to severe
COVID-19 pneumonia
Abstract
Necrotizing pneumonia (NP) is a severe form of lung disease with a high
mortality rate. Although NP generally occurs as a complication in
community-acquired pneumonia, our case illustrates that NP can occur as
a secondary infection even if the clinical course of COVID-19 pneumonia
is favorable, particularly in intubated patients.
