Blood Tests

Lung ultrasoundClinical experience and scientific articles have shown that patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can be paucisymptomatic or asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis. In this paper, we will discuss two paucisymptomatic patients with blood tests suggestive for SARS-CoV-2 infection but with repeated negative nasopharyngeal swabs and without typical features of COVID-19 pneumonia on chest high-resolution computed tomography. In these cases, lung ultrasound helped to raise clinical suspicion of COVID-19 pneumonia and facilitate diagnosis.

Parenchymal Lung Disease

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), also referred to as extrinsic allergic alveolitis, is an allergic inflammatory parenchymal lung disease usually caused by inhalational exposure to organic antigens from microbial bioaerosols or animal sources encountered in the work or home environment. Patients with HP can present with wheezing and obstructive abnormalities leading to an incorrect asthma diagnosis. The presence of a gas exchange abnormality, bronchoalveolar lavage lymphocytosis, and characteristic infiltrative changes on high-resolution computed tomography of the chest can be used to distinguish HP from asthma. The early diagnosis of HP and cessation of exposure to causative antigens result in remission of the disease and no residual impairment.
