Initial chest CT findings in COVID-19: correlation with clinical features. J Zhejiang Univ Sci B. 2020 Aug.;21(8):668-672 Authors: Shen ZJ, Lu N, Gao LL, Lv J, Luo HF, Jiang JF, Xu C, Li SY, Mao JJ, Li K, Xu XP, Lin B Abstract In December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a new de novo infectious disease, was first identified in Wuhan, China and quickly spread across China and around the world. The etiology was a novel betacoronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Lu et al., 2020). On Mar. 11, 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) characterized COVID-19 as a global pandemic. As of Mar. 22, 2020, over 292 000 confirmed COVID-19 cases have been reported globally. To date, COVID-19, with its high infectivity, has killed more people than severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) combined (Wu and McGoogan, 2020).
