    Document: A 73-year-old man with significant medical history including renal transplantation and chronic immunosuppression presented to the hospital with acute respiratory failure. His initial treatment included steroids for concern for Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, although this was later excluded as the diagnosis. The patient’s illness was consistent with COVID-19; however, he was not diagnosed with the virus until late in his course. The patient was found to have pneumatosis intestinalis that was successfully managed conservatively. Despite his multiple medical comorbidities, the patient had a positive outcome following COVID-19 infection. We discuss the association of pneumatosis intestinalis and COVID-19, and we investigate the various factors, including immunosuppression, that could play a role in this patient’s successful recovery from the virus.
