Abstract
After a complete symptomatic recovery after COVID-19 pneumonia, the
second phase of desaturation is a new phenomenon that is being
increasingly observed. Two possible mechanisms behind it can be a
continued subclinical infection and lung fibrosis. We have presented a
case with the former mechanism, who responded well to steroids.
