Image description: Computed tomography of the chest with contrast revealed few scattered rounded ground glass and consolidative opacities in the lingula of the left lung and middle lobe of the right lung along with segmental lung consolidation seen within the dependent portion of both lower lobes. Case description: The novel coronavirus disease has brought the world to standstill with high infectivity and rapid transmission. The disease caused by novel coronavirus is termed as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We present the case of a renal transplant patient who was infected with COVID-19 through community spread and presented with fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. Transplant recipients are particularly vulnerable because of the immunosuppressed state. These patients can shed a virus for a prolonged period and can have a higher load of the virus. There have been no COVID-19 cases transmitted through organ donation. Preinfection immunological impairment can aggravate the severity of the infection. The transplant team plays a crucial role in donor and recipient evaluation and guiding the timing of the transplant. Although specific published data are lacking with regard to transplant recipients, they should follow the same precautions as the general population, like avoiding nonessential travel and practice social distancing.
Image description: Axial computed tomography reconstructions of the chest: (1.a and 1.b) Case 1—Multiple large cystic lesions both in the left upper lobe and in the right lower lobe. (2.a and 2.b) Case 2—Multiple small cystic lesions distributed in a peripheral pattern. (3.a and 3.b) Case 3—Multiple cystic lesions bilateral, predominantly in right upper, middle, and lower lobes. Case description: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presented in December 2019 and has persisted since. The global pandemic has given rise to a novel acute disease process with a continually rapidly increasing prevalence of chronic disease and associated complications. There is minimal information on the long-term pulmonary complications of this disease. We present a series of 9 patient case reports and their respective imaging admitted with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to highlight the cystic lung disease complications which may arise due to severity and disease progression. Our aim is to raise awareness of the sequela of COVID-19 ARDS, including its potentially catastrophic long-term consequences to the respiratory tract involving cystic lung disease.
COVID-19 ARDS Related Cystic Lung Disease
Description: pediatric donor lungs, prior to transplant.
Description: A 52-year-old man presented with a 20-minute history of chest pain radiating to the left shoulder and neck, associated with dyspnea and diaphoresis.
Description: A 28-year-old woman presented with a 3-day history of intense pruritus over the lower back. Physical examination revealed multiple small vesicles, some clustered and others scattered, predominantly involving the lumbar region and the left gluteal area.
Description: A 4-month-old male infant presented with skin lesions localized to the chin with multiple small pustules and inflammatory signs on the chin.
Description: patient in late teens presenting after a collapse, no chest pain, no previous cardiac history.
