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.
