The ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that began in Wuhan, China, became an international emergency when thousands of people were infected around the world. COVID-19 emerged in Pakistan in April 2020, precipitating a nationwide lockdown. While some countries are now recovering from the pandemic, its peak is not estimated to occur in Pakistan until August 2020. We present a case of rheumatic heart disease with fever, myalgia and an unusual radiological finding of the virus.
Unusual radiological findings are being seen in COVID-19 patients.Pleural effusion in a mildly symptomatic patient is a rare presentation of the disease.Early aggressive treatment can produce dramatic improvement in COVID-19 pneumonia.
始于中国武汉的2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情不断蔓延，当全球数千人感染时，它成为了一场国际紧急事件。2020年4月COVID-19在巴基斯坦出现，促使全国实施封锁。虽然一些国家目前正在从疫情中恢复，但预计在巴基斯坦要到2020年8月才会达到疫情高峰。我们报告一例患有风湿性心脏病且伴有发热、肌痛以及该病毒不寻常影像学表现的病例。
COVID-19患者出现了不寻常的影像学表现。症状轻微的患者出现胸腔积液是该疾病的罕见表现。早期积极治疗可使COVID-19肺炎显著改善。
