FIGURE 6.
A-B: A 32-year-old male presented with a 1-day history of fever with a
maximum temperature of 39.2°C. At the time of presentation, he was
confirmed positive by nucleic acid testing for SARS-CoV-2. His routine
blood test showed a CPR of 14.08 (InCRP=2.70) and %Mon of 26.50.
Combined with his age of 32 years, the patient had total points of 75
according to our pneumonia risk prediction model, with a pneumonia risk
prediction probability of <0.1. The patient underwent a CT
chest scan, which showed no abnormal findings.
C-D: Male, 17 years old, presented 4 days ago with a fever with a
maximum temperature of 39.0°C. On presentation, he was confirmed
positive by nucleic acid testing for SRRS-CoV-2. His routine blood test
showed a CPR of 82.45 (InCRP=4.41) with a %Mon of 8.30. Combined with
his age of 17 years, the patient had total points of 152 according to
our pneumonia risk prediction model, with a pneumonia risk prediction
probability of 0.68. The patient underwent a chest CT, which showed
multiple lamellar ground-glass opacities in the lower lobe of the left
lung, with a peripheral distribution and thickened blood vessels within
the lesion.
E-F: A 63-year-old male with a 1-week history of malaise was confirmed
to be nucleic acid test positive for SARS-CoV-2 on presentation. His
routine blood test showed a CRP of 259.68 (InCRP=5.56) with a %Mon of
5.00. Combined with his age of 63 years, this patient had total points
of 192 according to our pneumonia risk prediction model, with a
pneumonia risk prediction probability of >0.9. The patient
underwent a chest CT, which showed multiple lamellar hyperintensities in
multiple lobes of both lungs with solid lesion density, bronchial air
sign within, and halo sign at the edges of some lesions.
