Abstract

Asymptomatic infections with SARS Cov 2 are not uncommon; the delta variant generates clinical signs that most often combine general signs with more intense respiratory signs; they are polymorphic and nonspecific. Chest CT is an important diagnostic and triage tool for patients whose condition warrants hospitalization. The two main complications of the disease are respiratory distress due to worsening of pneumonia, which most often occurs after seven to ten days of evolution in the context of a cytokine storm, and thromboembolic disease. The delta variant seems to affect young subjects to a greater degree with a higher percentage of transmissibility. The degree of lethality depends on the comorbidities mainly obesity and diabetes in patients aged 20 to 40 years.
