Twenty-seven adult patients with COVID-19 underwent bedside lung ultrasonography (LUS) examinations three times within the first two weeks of admission to the isolation ward. Early studies suggested that the irregular pleural line with small subpleural consolidations, white lung, confluents and irregular vertical artifacts (B-lines) are ultrasonic manifestations of COVID-19 pneumonia , and LUS scores have been used for the identification of patients with lung involvement and disease severity (Vetrugno et al. According to Spearman correlation test results (Table 2) Then, we divided the LUS scores into three scales (low ≤9; 9<medium<15; high ≥15) and compared them with the severity of COVID-19 disease ( Table 3 ).
