| Core Tip |
In cases wherein standard glucocorticoid therapy is ineffective in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) sequelae, glucocorticoid pulse therapy may be considered. This treatment approach was effective in the present case of an 81-year-old man with post-COVID-19 organizing pneumonia who developed acute respiratory failure after infection. The patient showed significant improvement in oxygen demand and imaging tests after three days of pulse treatment; he eventually recovered without any symptoms of interstitial lung disease. Therefore, glucocorticoid pulse therapy is a potential treatment option for patients with COVID-19 sequelae who require oxygen therapy and do not respond to standard therapy. |
