Point of care lung ultrasound in COVID-19: hype or hope? 2020-08-28 .txt text/plain 2339 155 51 As a control case, a suspected patient (later confirmed negative) with typical COVID-19 symptoms exhibited normal lung pleura with A-lines on LU. The third, and most interesting, case study 14 was of pregnant females with positive lung ultrasound findings suggesting COVID-19 which had an early negative PCR result. Ultrasound is sensitive to pleural and subpleural abnormalities, which suggests a great potential diagnostic role given the predilection for COVID-19 in peripheral subpleural regions.This paper reviews the current evidence and discusses the problems with specificity and scoring.
