Abstract

A 19-year old patient with 8th-month pregnancy was admitted in our hospital with severe COVID infection. She was put on oxygen support and managed as per COVID protocol. She had spontaneous vaginal delivery and the baby was found to be COVID-negative. She developed initially left and later right-sided Pneumothorax. She had prolonged hospitalization and was managed with intercostal drains, NIV, Remdesivir and chest physiotherapy. The pneumothoraxes resolved and she made a satisfactory recovery and could be discharged on room air.
