Presentation
Fever, cough, myalgia, and anosmia. (Patient RT-PCR test was positive for COVID-19)
Patient Data
Non-contrast CT scan of the chest demonstrates multifocal, bilateral, predominantly peripheral ground-glass opacities, and multiple nodular opacities, surrounded by a less dense rim which is surrounded by a denser concentric ring-like rim in some peripheral regions of the lower lobes of the lungs.
Case Discussion
Ground glass opacity is definitely the most common finding in COVID-19 infections. They are usually multifocal, bilateral, and peripheral.
The pulmonary target sign is described as nodular opacity in the center of a ring-like opacity in the lung parenchyma in patients with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus. Also, the possibility of this finding being unique remains unclear.
