چکیده
Aim: Although the RT-PCR test of pharyngeal swabs is gold standard for diagnosing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19), radiological imaging techniques, particularly thoracic computerized tomography (CT) were also used frequently as needed during pandemic. The aim this study to investigate thorax CT findings in patients with COVID-19 confirmed by and evaluate its relationship clinical features. Methods: This included 311 consecutive who hospitalized between April 1, 2020, June COVID 19 diagnosis based on (+) results underwent a within 24-48 hours admission. Symptoms, status, co-morbidities evaluated. Thorax assessed Department Radiology analyzed relation status PCR patients. Results: group consisted 170 male (57.7%) 141 female (42.3%) mean age 46.7 ± 33.7 years. Among cases, 51 (16.4%) asymptomatic, course was mild-moderate 197 (63.3%) severe 63(20.3%). During follow-up 21 (6.8%) required intensive care 10 (3.2%) died. most common symptoms observed cough (33.4%), weakness (30.2%) fever (28%). commonly encountered co-morbidity hypertension (10.3%) followed diabetes mellitus (7.7%), coronary artery (5.1%). normal 21.9% patients; viral pneumonia detected 20.9% 27.7% reported compatible 19. Bilateral involvement seen scan 49.2% In regard characteristics that suggest disease, ground-glass opacities 181 (27.2%) least vascular enlargement 4(0.6%) Conclusion: an air-borne primarily affects lungs. Thus, it essential define lung involvement. are similar other pulmonary infections. clinicians being familiar features would contribute earlier detection thus reduced mortality associated disease.
