(A) Thoracic CT of one of our patients on the critical care unit with COVID-19 pneumonia. Characteristic peripheral bilateral ground glass opacities can be seen. (B) Especially in ACHD patients, endocarditis is an important differential diagnosis: transoesophageal echocardiography, long axis view of a one of our young ACHD patients with a prosthetic aortic valve and a conduit presenting with fever to our outpatient clinic. The aortic root is thickened and hypodense with an abscess formation (arrow). Multiple blood cultures were positive for Staphylococcus aureus, illustrating that not all infective complications during the pandemic are due to COVID-19. ACHD, adult congenital heart disease.
