“…To date, its etiology is merely speculative, which is presumed to be secondary to parenchymal damage, pulmonary fibrosis, or low compliance, in some cases associated with mechanical ventilation but can also arise spontaneously in intermediate and late stages of ARDS; others assert that it is associated with the process of resorption of consolidation [ 12 - 19 ]. However, it is interesting to highlight that the infection by COVID-19 and other coronaviruses produces persistent airflow obstruction since it is common to find new emphysema, cysts, or attenuation mosaic in these infections, which is not the case with other viral infections [ 20 ].…”

“…Longer telomere length has been shown to be protective against the long-term sequela of pulmonary fibrosis from infection [6]. Less typical features of COVID-19 include cyst formation [7][8][9] which can lead to further complications including pneumothoraces and pneumomediastinum [10,11].…”
