    AbstractCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is frequently accompanied by various sequelae. Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are observed in COVID-19 pneumonia patients after recovery, probably due to persistent inflammation in the lungs. We herein report a case of ILD with anti-signal recognition particle antibodies following severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The patient was diagnosed with ILD three months after COVID-19 pneumonia. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, the autoantibody-induced immune response might have been the pulmonary fibrosis trigger in this patient.
