| Abstract | ||
| Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), was a highly contagious disease thatcaused severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The most severely affected patients were older individuals and those with comorbidities. The etiology of lung disease after COVID-19 might be a sequela of prolonged mechanical ventilation, COVID-19-induced acute (RDS), or direct injury from the virus. Chest CT played a critical role in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with moderate to severe respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 pneumonia and was an alternative and superior method compared with (RT-PCR) testing. Patients recovering from COVID-19 had persistent symptoms and variable CT abnormalities including ground-glass opacities (GGOs), consolidations, sub-pleural bands, reticular abnormality, and evidence of fibrosis, volume loss, architectural distortion, traction bronchiectasis, and air trapping. The short and midterm chest CT outcomes in patients with COVID-19 had been reported in some studies, which used both qualitative and semi quantitative methods. AIM OF THE WORK: The purpose of this work was describing post covid-I9 short-term lung sequelae on follow up CT-chest. | ||
