    Snippet: We report a case of necrotizing SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia complicated by bronchopleural fistula and treated by decortication and salvage lobectomy. Due to the unknown characteristics of the underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection, treatment of the abscess and bronchopleural fistula was delayed. This may have let the patient to further deteriorate with ensuing multiple organ dysfunction. Complications of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, such as a bacterial abscess and a bronchopleural fistula, appear to be treated as if
