Differential diagnoses of acute ground-glass opacity in chest computed tomograp...
Matos,Marina Justi Rosa de; Rosa,Marcela Emer Egypto; Brito,Vanessa Mizubuti; Amaral,Lucas Tadashi Wada; Beraldo,Gabriel LaverdiABSTRACT Ground-glass opacity is a very frequent and unspecified finding in chest computed tomography. Therefore, it admits a wide range of differential diagnoses in the acute context, from viral pneumonias such as influenza virus, coronavirus disease 2019 and cytomegalovirus and even non-infectious lesions, such as vaping, pulmonary infarction, alveolar hemorrhage and pulmonary edema. For this diagnostic diffe...
