Descripción
Sumario:This report aims to highlight the importance of integrating the lung ultrasound findings in the clinical judgment, and to integrate its findings, exemplified in this patient, thought to have COVID-19 bilateral pneumonia, and turn out to have an infectious spondylodiscitis and secondary, a restrictive lung disease. As ultrasound devices become increasingly portable and affordable, the future potential of lung ultrasound relies on a not lesser degree of clinical skills acquisition.
