Abstract
Introduction: Throughout the world, during the pandemic process, Thorax Computed Tomography (CT) contributed to the diagnosis with higher sensitivity than laboratory tests in COVID-19 pneumonia. Material and Methods: During the pandemic period, 224 COVID-19 Pneumonia cases were followed in our chest diseases clinic. Throughout the pandemic, thorax CT was performed in all cases according to World Health, Organization, European Radiology Association and health ministry guidelines. Thorax CT’s of the cases were evaluated and reported by a Radiologist and a Chest Diseases Specialist. Cases with a rare COVID-19 finding with a centracinar nodule were collected. Results: Demographic data, symptoms, physical examination findings, rt-PCR test results, posteroanterior chest x-ray findings and Thorax CT findings of the cases followed in our clinic were recorded. During the 3-month period, 224 cases were followed in the chest diseases clinic. Sentriacinar nodule pattern was observed in thorax CT in 11 cases. Conclusions: Our case series is presented in terms of the necessity to investigate the case in terms of COVID-19 pneumonia with symptoms and findings in patients with a rare pattern of centriacinar nodule.
