LOZANO ZALCE, Horacio et al. Clinical-radiological diagnosis of pneumonia by COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) at Hospital Ángeles Lomas. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.224-228.  Epub 28-Mar-2022. ISSN 1870-7203.  https://doi.org/10.35366/93908.

The purpose of this article is to share the experience of a private Hospital in the metropolitan area of Mexico City, in the diagnostic approach of patients with suspected COVID-19 pneumonia. The Emergency and Imaging Departments worked in a coordinated and structured manner, supported by the Clinical and Molecular Biology Laboratory. The relative facility of our hospital in carrying out the diagnostic test of choice (rt-PCR), as well as the type of population served and the access to computed tomography equipment, made very fast and easy the diagnosis of patients with this illness. The clinical, laboratory and radiological approach is described, as well as the typical imaging findings and their comparison with that reported in the literature.

Palabras llave : COVID-19; chest CT for COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2 pneumoniae.
