Summary:With the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there is an increasing interest in the sequelae and care in recovered patients. Although the long-term sequelae of COVID-19 are still unknown, recently published reports suggest that some of the patients have persistent symptoms and show radiologic abnormalities after discharge. Herein, we present cases of four patients with previous COVID-19 infection manifesting pulmonary sequelae, including pulmonary fibrosis or organizing pneumonia pattern with persistent dyspnea after recovery. Coronavirus disease 2019 (이하 COVID-19)의 대유행이 지속됨에 따라 COVID-19 감염에서 회복된 환자들의 후유증과 치료에 많은 관심이 발생하고 있다. COVID-19의 장기적인 후유증은 아직 알려지지 않았지만, 최근 발표된 문헌에 따르면 일부 환자들은 퇴원 후에도 증상이 지속되며 영상의학적 이상 소견을 보였다. 우리는 COVID-19 회복 후에 지속적인 호흡곤란이 있던 네 명의 환자들 증례에서 폐 섬유화 또는 기질화 폐렴 패턴을 나타내는 폐 후유증을 보고하고자 한다.
