Chest CT target sign in a couple with COVID-19 pneumonia Müller, C. Isabela Silva; Müller, Nestor Luiz, 1948-

Abstract

We describe a target sign on chest CT characterized by a combination of peripheral ring-like opacity and a central nodular groundglass opacity surrounding a vessel in a couple with COVID-19 pneumonia confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase fluorescence polymerase chain reaction sputum analysis. Descrevemos o sinal do alvo na TC de tórax representando combinação de opacidade com aspecto de anel periférico e componente central nodular em vidro fosco circundando estrutura vascular em um casal com COVID-19 confirmada por reação em cadeia da polimerase com transcrição reversa.
