description | In context of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), patients with certain comorbidities and high age, as well as male sex are considered to represent the risk group for severe course of disease. Corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) typical CT-patterns include bilateral, peripheral ground glass opacity (GGO), septal thickening, bronchiectasis, consolidation as well as associated pleural effusion. We report a 77-year-old heart transplanted patient with confirmed COVID-19 infection and coronary heart disease, diabetes type II and other risk factors. Notably, only slight clinical symptoms were reported and repeated computed tomography (CT) scans showed an atypical course of CT findings during his hospitalization. |
