Abstract

Actualmente vivimos una pandemia por SRAS-CoV-2, virus que afecta inicialmente el tracto respiratorio y que puede progresar a falla orgánica múltiple y muerte. Si en un paciente se sospechan síntomas del tracto respiratorio inferior es recomendado una radiografía portátil de tórax, para comprobar hallazgos sugestivos de la enfermedad y valorar su severidad, si existen dudas se recomienda una tomografía simple de tórax.
