HFNC and mechanical ventilation have also been reported to cause pneumothorax in COVID-19 patients. WSD installation is an action that is carried out accompanied by the administration of medicine according to the underlying disease. We report a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax due to COVID-19 and fungal and bacterial infections.
