Recently, some global cases of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia have been caused by second- or third-generation transmission of the viral infection, resulting in no traceable epidemiological history. Owing to the complications of COVID-19 pneumonia, the first symptom and imaging features of patients can be very atypical and early diagnosis of COVID-19 infections remains a challenge. It would aid radiologists and clinicians to be aware of the early atypical symptom and imaging features of the disease and contribute to the prevention of infected patients being missed.
最近,一些 2019 年新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)肺炎的全球病例是由病毒感染的第二代或第三代传播引起的,没有可追溯的流行病学史。由于 COVID-19 肺炎的复杂性,患者的首发症状和影像学特征可能非常不典型,因此对 COVID-19 感染的早期诊断仍然是一个挑战。这将有助于放射科医生和临床医生了解疾病的早期非典型症状和影像学特征,并有助于防止感染患者被漏诊。
