We report a case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated radiologically suspected organizing pneumonia with repeated negative Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results from nasopharyngeal swab and sputum samples, but positive result from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Performing SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR in upper respiratory tract samples only could fail to detect COVID-19-associated pneumonia, and SARS-CoV-2 could be an etiology of radiologically suspected organizing pneumonia.
我们报告了一例2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)相关的影像学疑似机化性肺炎病例,该病例鼻咽拭子和痰液样本的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)聚合酶链反应(PCR)结果反复为阴性,但支气管肺泡灌洗 fluid的结果为阳性。仅在上呼吸道样本中进行SARS-CoV-2逆转录PCR可能无法检测出COVID-19相关肺炎,且SARS-CoV-2可能是影像学疑似机化性肺炎的病因。
