The case of an otherwise healthy 44-year-old woman complaining of malaise, anosmia, fever and cough for 4 days (mild phenotype). LUS and CXR were in disagreement. LUS showed an intermediate probability pattern for COVID-19 pneumonia. One of the LUS scans reported in the bottom shows an isolated area with B-lines, light beam and a peripheral consolidation (3). The other LUS scans show A-lines (1, 2, 4). CXR in the upper right panel was read negative. Corresponding CT scan in the upper left panel shows a limited peripheral area with GGO and a consolidation and was considered indeterminate appearance. The points numbered in the CT scan correspond to the 4 LUS scans. Viral RT-PCR was positive.
