The first reports of severe acute respiratory symptoms from a novel coronavirus called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. 1 The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic by March 2020. 1 The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a current global health emergency. Clinical information about the findings of COVID-19 and its associated complications are constantly evolving and becoming more widely available. Providers should be familiar with both typical symptoms and image study results for COVID-19 as well as less commonly reported complications of progressive COVID-19, such as spontaneous pneumomediastinum and spontaneous pneumothorax as highlighted in this case.

“…There is respiratory distress with respiratory rate ≥ 30 breaths/min; SpO2 ≤ 93% at rest, and PaO2/FIO2 ≤ 300 [ 32 ]. The most critical patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with respiratory failure in need of mechanical ventilation, multiple organ dysfunction (MODS) and/or shock, metabolic acidosis, and coagulation abnormalities that are resistant to treatment [ 33 , 34 ].…”

Covid-19 is a new highly contagious RNA viral disease that has caused a global pandemic. Human-to-human transmission occurs primarily through oral and nasal droplets and possibly through the airborne route. The disease may be asymptomatic or the course may be mild with upper respiratory symptoms, moderate with non-life-threatening pneumonia, or severe with pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The severe form is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While patients who are unstable and in acute distress need immediate in-person attention, many patients can be evaluated at home by telemedicine or videoconferencing. The more benign manifestations of Covid-19 may be managed from home to maintain quarantine, thus avoiding spread to other patients and health care workers. This document provides an overview of the clinical presentation of Covid-19, emphasizing telemedicine strategies for assessment and triage of patients. Advantages of the virtual visit during this time of social distancing are highlighted.

“…In the literature, these findings are documented as having high prevalence and specificity for COVID-19 pneumonia. This CT findings including periferal and biateral ground glass opacities accompanied or not by consolidations or “crazy paving” pattern, multifocal ground glass opacities with rounded morphology with or without consolidations or “crazy cobblestone” pattern, and the inverse halo sign along with other findings of organizing pneumonia [ 37 , 38 ].…”

Background The tomographic findings in COVID-19, its classification, a brief overview of the application of artificial intelligence, and the stages during the course of the disease in patients with moderate COVID-19 Main body Chest CT allows us to follow the course of COVID-19 in an objective way; each phase has characteristic imaging findings and, consequently, takes the corresponding measures. A search was made in the PubMed database with the keywords extracted from the DeCs and the combinations of these. Only articles published between December 2019 and June 2020 were included. The search was limited to the English language. Conclusions CT serves to monitor the course of the disease since it assesses the severity of lung involvement. The most frequent finding is bilateral ground glass opacities with a subpleural distribution. The progression occurs in two phases: one slow and one fast. At discharge, the patient may have ground glass opacities or areas that will later become fibrosis, leaving sequelae for life.
