RESUMEN
The aim of the study was to evaluate the temporal evolution of fibrotic-like pulmonary interstitial abnormalities secondary to Sars-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) pneumonia detected on chest-CTs of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection. We retrospectively reviewed chest-CTs obtained up to 9 months after disease onset in a group of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and CT features suggestive of lung fibrosis at the first follow-up after hospital discharge. We observed a complete and unexpected resolution of all interstitial abnormalities, including reticulations and bronchial dilatation, in a period of about 6-9 months after discharge. Interstitial fibrotic-like changes detectable in the first months after COVID-19 pneumonia could be slowly or very slowly resolving but still completely reversible and probably secondary to an organizing pneumonia reaction.
