ABSTRACT

Lung devastating consequences in patients with new coronavirus infection are immersed by severe haematological and inflammatory disorders that joined with specific risk factors, exponentially increase mortality. Patients' subgroup was documented with embolic pulmonary disease with vascular distribution segmental defects by nuclear medicine whose studies by thorax computed tomography angio were negative. The purpose of this presentation is to validate the diagnostic input of nuclear medicine pulmonary perfusion in patients with new coronavirus infection with middle clinical pre-test for pulmonary embolism disease whose scanographic images by thorax computated tomography angio ruled out thrombosis.
