“…The article of Verrastro et al (9) published in the present issue of Radiologia Brasileira confirms the findings of previous studies, demonstrating predominance of ground-glass opacities and consolidations in nine patients. Considering that the sample of this study included hospital inpatients, five of them were at a high risk for the development of severe disease presentations (a pregnant patient and four renal transplant recipients) and also were those who presented more extensive tomographic findings.…”

“…Which complies with the indings observed in the present research, in which all of the subjects presented this type of damage. Verrastro et al (28) also found through Computed Tomography exams that the 9 patients in his study presented abnormalities of ground-glass opacity. Furthermore, in 7 of these patients these disturbances were extensive, multiple and bilateral.…”
