Abstract
The aim of the study: to identify the main variants of CT-symptoms («scenarios») which are observed in patients with COVID-19 viral lung damage with positive clinical course.
Materials and methods. We considered follow-up CT data of patients with SARS-nCoV-2 virus infection (confirmed by PCR) with a difference of 5 to 21 days with a positive clinical course of the disease. In some cases, a correlation with morphological data was made.
Results. There were identified 5 main «scenarios» for viral lung damage course in COVID-19 (from complete regression of opacities or minimal residual reticular structures to the phenomena of organization, atelectasises and initial signs of fibrosis).
Conclusions. Understanding of follow-up CT pattern in COVID-19 helps to make a decision at an early stage about necessity for additional therapy, which allows to avoid potentially possible fibrotic lung process in the future.
