Résumé
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) is a form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia that commonly presents with exertional dyspnea. The mainstay diagnostic criterion is with histopathological confirmation alongside excluding secondary causes of interstitial lung disease. The COVID-19 pandemic left many mysteries regarding the long-term sequelae of this disease. We explore a case of post-COVID-19 syndrome organizing pneumonia (PCOP) in a patient presenting with new-onset respiratory symptoms seven weeks after recovery from COVID-19 infection. Upon further review of the literature, there were no published case reports on PCOP in Trinidad and Tobago. We describe a case of PCOP presented at Apley Medical Clinic, Trinidad, and Tobago, West Indies, with the aim of increasing awareness of this condition to allow for early identification and effective management.
