Clinical and radiologic features of the first cured Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient in Guangzhou City, China

To determine changes in clinical and radiologic findings associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from diagnosis to recovery, we retrospectively reviewed the diagnosis and treatment records of the first patient cured of COVID-19 in Guangzhou. A 55-year-old woman from Wuhan was admitted to...

description To determine changes in clinical and radiologic findings associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from diagnosis to recovery, we retrospectively reviewed the diagnosis and treatment records of the first patient cured of COVID-19 in Guangzhou. A 55-year-old woman from Wuhan was admitted to the hospital isolation ward with the chief complaint of “cough for 11 days and once fever 8 days ago” on January 22, 2020. COVID-19 was laboratory confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, and she received conventional antiviral therapy, such as moxifloxacin, traditional Chinese medicine, and arbidol. Repeat chest-computed tomography (CT) scans were performed on days 13 and 19 of her illness. The former showed radiologic findings, including ground-glass opacities (GGOs), which revealed viral pneumonia; the latter revealed that the previous lesions had been significantly absorbed. The lesions on CT scans were consistent with the changes in the course of disease. Some drugs, such as traditional Chinese medicine and arbidol, might play an important role in the recovery of COVID-19 patients. This study provides some new insights into the formulation of a timely and effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategy to cure patients with COVID-19.
