Bilateral military infiltrates involving more than 50 % areas of pulmonary tissue an indicative of severe COVID case with ARDS and requires ICU care with high flow nasal oxygen requirement , with aim to prevent the patient in progressing to critical stage ..Also needed supportive treatment will parenteral antibiotics to prevent sepsis and antiviral therapy
Thank you for nice update A new type of X ray finding in COVID 19 Perhaps because of immunocompromised status as he is on tacrolimus which is very strong immunosuppressant
Unlike the typical pneumonia pattern, this is military mottling. Previous existing military TB , carcinomatous lymphangiomatosis should be ruled out . We are likely to see atypical presentation of COVID infection more and more.
Bil diffuse parenchymal reticulonoduler infiltrations seen. Poorly defined parahilar heziness seen. Rt basal densed opacity seen.
