Abstract
The outbreak of covid-19 pandemic has lead to a great health care challenge. Though the pathophysiology understanding has improved, but still health care workers are at greater risk. World Health Organisation (WHO) and governmental policy is focusing on covid-19 management, but non-covid patients of cardiac and lung disease need equal and sometimes more attention particularly urgent and emergency cases. In bullous disease of lung presenting with dyspnoea should not be neglected as covid patient and should be treated with proper diagnosis and management. We present six cases of bullous disease who presented with high grade dyspnoea and undergone surgical treatment with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria during this pandemic. Proper perioperative covid protocols were followed in all cases.
