The case of an otherwise healthy 46-year-old man complaining of fever, cough and dyspnea for 7 days (severe phenotype). LUS and CXR were in agreement. LUS showed a high probability pattern for COVID-19 pneumonia. The LUS scans reported in the bottom panel show a patchy and bilateral distribution of clusters of B-lines and light beam (1, 2, 4), alternating with normal A-lines pattern (3). CXR in the upper right panel was read typical for the presence of bilateral GGO and reticular alterations. The corresponding CT scan in the upper left panel shows multiple GGO alterations that were considered typical appearance. The points numbered in the CT image correspond to the 4 LUS scans. RT-PCR was positive. Unfortunately, the patient died of COVID-19 after 20 days from admission.
