The case of a 48-year-old woman with a history of HCV related chronic hepatitis, complaining of fever and cough for two weeks (mild phenotype). LUS and CXR were in disagreement. LUS showed an alternative pattern to COVID-19 pneumonia. One of the LUS scans reported in the bottom shows a large lobar isolated consolidation with dynamic air bronchograms (3). The other LUS scans show A-lines (1, 2, 4). CXR in the upper right panel was read typical of COVID-19 pneumonia due to bilateral reticular alterations and GGO. Corresponding CT scan in the upper left panel shows a large consolidation with air bronchograms without significant GGO alterations and was confirmed atypical appearance (bacterial pneumonia) The points numbered in the CT scan correspond to the 4 LUS scans. Viral RT-PCR was negative. The patient recovered after antibiotic treatment.
