Diagnosis

A woman in 70s with Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Radiologic Findings

Initial chest PA (Figure 1) shows multifocal consolidation and ground glass opacities in both lung fields which show decreased extent and opacities on serial follow up images (Figure 2-3).

Chest CT images on HD-2 (Figure 4 and 6) show well demarcated ground glass attenuated lesions in both lungs with peripheral predominance. A remarkable finding is that some lesions are distributed with subpleural area sparing and through the bronchovascular bundle. Follow up chest CT scans on HD-5 (Figure 5 and 6) demonstrate decreasing densities and extent of the lesions.

Brief Review

Treatment: aniretroviral (Kaletra) and antiviral medication (ribavirin) with steroid
Prognosis: stable state with improving symptoms
