Figure 6:

True positive CO-RADS 5 in SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positive asymptomatic individual. A, axial and, B, sagittal CT scan of asymptomatic individual with CO-RADS 5 and positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR. Clinical summary: a 31 year-old woman was admitted with diarrhea and left iliac fossa pain. She presented no respiratory symptoms, myalgia, loss of taste or smell or abnormal fatigue. Fever (39.4%) was attributed to suspected diverticulitis but a CT abdomen was negative. Standard chest CT scan as part of COVID-19 infection control policy showed multifocal bilateral ground glass opacities and crazy paving pattern, scored as CO-RADS 5. Blood testing showed increased CRP (48.4 mg/L), normal leukocyte count (6.8 x 10e3/μl) and no lymphocytopenia but increased D-dimers (1428 ng/mL) and increased LDH (669 U/L).
