Description COVID-19 is a new coronavirus that can cause severe respiratory distress. Interestingly, patients can present with COVID-19 and appear relatively well but with significant hypoxia, even with minimal movement. The authors present the case of a well-appearing gentleman who became acutely short of breath while undergoing chest imaging, stating he could not breathe. He tested positive for COVID-19 and recovered. His presentation, clinical course and imaging findings are discussed.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)是一种可导致严重呼吸窘迫的新型冠状病毒。有趣的是,感染COVID-19的患者可能看起来情况相对良好,但却存在严重缺氧,即使活动极少时也是如此。作者介绍了一位外表状况良好的先生的病例,他在进行胸部成像检查时突然出现呼吸急促,称自己无法呼吸。他的COVID-19检测呈阳性,随后康复。文中讨论了他的临床表现、病程及影像学检查结果。
