- A Case of Post-COVID-19 Fibrosis Mimicking Thoracic Manifestation of Ankylosing Spondylitis Emrah Doğan Sabri Serhan Olcay Tuba Çınar Olcay Utku Tapan Ozge Tapan Dr. Fatih Alaşan Medicina Post covid fibrosis Computed tomography Ankylosing spondylitis Apical fibrobullous disease The most common thoracic manifestation form of ankylosing spondylitis is apical fibrocystic changes. It is also known as apical fibrobullous disease (AFBD). The patient was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis before 9 years. He suffered COVID-19 infection and passed an intensive care period. However, post-covid fibrosis (PCF) atypically affected dominantly apical zones. If we had no sequential CT evaluations, our case could be easily confused with AFBD. On CT taken before COVID-19, the lung apex was normal. Thus, it was confirmed that there was no rheumatologic thoracic manifestation in the patient before suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia. PCF created similar changes as AFBD. Our case is the first reported paper on this topic. 2022 artículo científico 2029-4174 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=694072981019 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6940/694072981019/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6940/694072981019/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6940/694072981019/694072981019.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6940/694072981019/movil https://doi.org/10.15388/Amed.2021.29.1.10 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6940 Acta medica Lituanica application/pdf Vilniaus Universitetas Acta medica Lituanica (Lituania) Num.1 Vol.29
