OBJECTIVE.本研究的目的是报告23例冠状病毒病（COVID-19）患者腹部CT的非预期肺底发现。在这些先前未怀疑患有COVID-19的患者中，腹痛是CT最常见的适应症（n = 19），11例患者没有肺外发现。17例患者接受聚合酶链反应检测，结果均为阳性。根据腹部盆腔CT的肺部表现，可能强烈提示未被怀疑的冠状病毒病。
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to report unanticipated lung base findings on abdominal CT in 23 patients concerning for coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In these patients, who were not previously suspected of having COVID-19, abdominal pain was the most common indication for CT (n = 19), and 11 patients had no extrapulmonary findings. Seventeen patients underwent polymerase chain reaction testing, which returned positive results for all 17.CONCLUSION. Unsuspected coronavirus disease may be strongly suggested on the basis of lung findings on abdominopelvic CT.
