Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus that can cause pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome and pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Lung damage caused by COVID-19 can cause severe permanent respiratory failure. Ozone therapy (OT) is used as a complementary treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. PF, which is one of the interstitial lung diseases, is also radiologically identified in COVID-19 patients. In this case report, regression and healing on thorax CT findings are presented for a severe COVID-19 pneumonia-related intensive care unit patient who was diagnosed with PF on the post-COVID ward and treated with OT on the ward and even after discharge from hospital.
