CTICasesCOVID-19 Positive with Stable Chronic Changes
Imaging findings
Chest radiograph shows stable chronic changes (attributable to chronic renal failure) that are unchanged or slightly improved compared to a baseline radiograph from two months prior. Nasopharyngeal swab PCR was positive for SARS-CoV-2.
Key takeaways
Not all patients with positive COVID-19 tests present with acute radiographic changes or respiratory symptoms. In patients with significant chronic underlying lung conditions (e.g., chronic renal failure), radiographic findings can be stable or even improved despite active viral infection in the nasopharynx.
