COVID 19
55 year old male presents with a fever and a cough.
CXR findings reveal vague peripheral, bibasilar, “ground glass” changes in the lower lung zones.
The CT scan confirms the presence of bilateral, predominantly basilar, nodular, and peripheral mixed ground glass and consolidative opacifications consistent with the diagnosis of COVID 19. Differential diagnosis however includes other viral pneumonias, allergic alveolitis and other multifocal and organizing pneumonias.
The red circles show the consolidative pattern and the blue circles show the ground glass pattern. One infiltrate (combined blue and red circle) shows both ground glass pattern and consolidative pattern
