Abstract
Post-COVID-19 necrotizing pneumonia has been rarely reported. We report of case of a 55-year-old male with underlying comorbidities of diabetes and hypertension and a history of severe COVID-19 illness managed with mechanical ventilation. A few days after recovery, he developed bilateral pneumothorax and empyema with lung collapse and multiple patchy air opacities. Pus discharge from both intercostal tubes grew Enterococcus faecium resistant to vancomycin and sensitive to linezolid. The patient was successfully treated with linezolid and showed complete recovery.
