This case demonstrates the difficulty of differential interpretation of CT images between fatty embolism and SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, no study has investigated the specific features of CT scans to differentiate fat embolism syndrome from SARS-Cov-2 infection. His condition was further complicated by acute respiratory failure with CT images that may suggest either SARS-Cov-2 infection or a fatty embolism or both. Upon our patient's arrival during the pandemic, he presented with fever (38°C) and oxygen desaturation (88%) strongly suggestive of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, especially since the signs of fat embolism occur on average at H39 [11, 12] . ./cache/cord-262361-3f09z5pf.txt ./txt/cord-262361-3f09z5pf.txt
