Radiographic Findings and Their Temporal Changes in COVID-19 Positive Changes Patients: A Prospective Study

All Patient irrespective of age with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to hospital and who underwent chest radiograph will be enrolled in the study to find raduigraphic findings and their temporal changes in COVID-19.

Patient selection will be consecutive in addition of age , gender and comorbid conditions clinical information will included travel,expose and contact history. All patients should be positive for COVID-19 via laboratory testing with real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(rRT-PCR) In addition, the number of rRT-PCR tests performed on each patient, on which test a positive result was found,and the number of days between symptomology onset and date of first positive test will be recorded.

In view of the current dynamics, any other reliable diagnostic test(s) if added to the clinical protocol will also be considered for inclusion in this study.

Tabulation of radiographic findings for all consecutive X-rays will be done along with the temporal changes of these findings. further, the clinical findings with the outcomes(duration of hospital findings, ventilatory support and discharge/death).

Inclusion Criteria:

1.Patients confirmed positive for COVID-19 by rRT-PCR irrespective of age.
