A Characteristic Chest Radiographic Pattern in the Setting of COVID-19 Pandemic	2020-09-03		.txt	text/plain	2913	156	48	CONCLUSION: The presence of patchy and/or confluent, bandlike ground glass opacity or consolidation in a peripheral and mid-to-lower lung zone distribution on a chest radiograph obtained in the setting of pandemic COVID-19 is highly suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection and should be used in conjunction with clinical judgement to make a diagnosis. The characteristic COVID-19 pattern ( Fig. 2-4) was defined in accordance with the prevailingly accepted chest imaging findings of COVID-19 in recent literature [2, 12, 20, 24, 25, [27] [28] [29] including the presence of bilateral "patchy" or "confluent, bandlike" ground glass opacity or consolidation in a peripheral and mid-to-lower lung zone distribution. The presence of bilateral "patchy" and/or "confluent, bandlike" ground glass opacity or consolidation in a peripheral and mid-to-lower lung zone distribution on a chest radiograph obtained in the setting of pandemic COVID-19 is highly suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection and should be used in conjunction with clinical judgement to make a diagnosis, especially when rapid and reliable serologic testing is lacking.	./cache/cord-034689-se1hdn61.txt	./txt/cord-034689-se1hdn61.txt
