CTICasesRapidly Progressive COVID-19 Pneumonia
Imaging findings
Serial chest radiographs taken 24 hours apart in the mother of a COVID-19 positive patient show rapid progression of subtle, peripheral ground-glass opacities into dense, bilateral consolidations.
Key takeaways
COVID-19 pneumonia can progress extremely rapidly in susceptible patients. Intrafamilial transmission is common, and close contacts presenting with even minor respiratory symptoms or subtle radiographic findings should be monitored closely, as severe respiratory failure and consolidation can develop within a day.
