| description | For over two years, doctors and scientists have been dealing with the issue of COVID-19, caused by infection with the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The various signs and complications of COVID-19 are still being identified. In this article, we present the case of a 61-year old woman with a history of chronic bronchitis, who was admitted to the Pulmonology Department Prof. Stanisław Szyszko Independent Public Clinical Hospital No 1 in Zabrze for haemoptysis after having recovered from COVID-19. After clinical examination, laboratory investigation, and imaging scans, we considered that the haemoptysis was most likely caused by respiratory tract inflammation. The patient was treated with antibiotics, glucocorticosteroids, as well as antihaemorrhagic and antitussive drugs. During the patient’s hospital stay, the haemoptysis gradually disappeared and the patient was discharged home in a very good clinical condition. |
