Organizing pneumonia, a form of interstitial lung disease, may occur in patients who have recovered from COVID-19. In this article, we report three cases of post COVID-19 organizing pneumonia, proven histologically with transbronchial biopsies showing fibroblastic plugs in the alveolar spaces. Our patients received a range of 86-166 days of continuous corticosteroid therapy and all of them made excellent recovery.

- - Randomized controlled studies indicate that endobronchial one-way valves (EBV) are effective for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) and case series reveal they can stop air leaks from pneumothoraces.
- - A 66-year-old man with severe COPD underwent EBV treatment for an air leak due to pneumothorax, even after failing BLVR assessments, leading to significant improvements in breathlessness and exercise capacity.
- - The case highlights that patients with suitable lung volume and CT findings could benefit from BLVR, and EBV may enhance lung function in those with pulmonary emphysema experiencing persistent air leaks.
A 42-year-old patient with epilepsy was admitted to the hospital for fever and generalized skin rash. He has known allergy to phenytoin. Valproate was started in 2012, but failed to control his seizure despite gradual increase in dosage.
