    Abstract Aims and methods: We evaluated an ultrasound score from 0 to 32 points in eight pulmonary regions to monitor critically ill COVID-19 patients. The score was correlated to surrogate parameters of disease severity, i.e., the oxygenation index, respiratory support, mortality, plasma interleukin-6, and WHO and ARDS classifications.
    Results: A total of 27 patients were repeatedly examined, and 71 examinations were evaluated. Patients with severe COVID-19 scored higher (median 17) than those with moderate disease (median 11,
    Conclusions: The ultrasound score is a reliable tool that might help monitor disease severity and may help stratify the risk of mortality.

    Abstract The current SARS-CoV-2 outbreak leads to a growing need of point-of-care thoracic imaging that is compatible with isolation settings and infection prevention precautions. We retrospectively reviewed 17 COVID-19 patients who received point-of-care lung ultrasound imaging in our isolation unit. Lung ultrasound was able to detect interstitial lung disease effectively; severe cases showed bilaterally distributed B-Lines with or without consolidations; one case showed bilateral pleural plaques. Corresponding to CT scans, interstitial involvement is accurately depicted as B-Lines on lung ultrasound. Lung ultrasound might be suitable for detecting interstitial involvement in a bedside setting under high security isolation precautions.

    Abstract Objectives To prospectively evaluate lung ultrasound in comparison with radiography and computed tomography (CT) for detecting HIV-related lung diseases. Methods Ultrasound examinations in HIV-positive patients were evaluated by three raters; available conventional imaging was evaluated by another rater. Results were compared with each other and the definite diagnosis. Interrater reliability was calculated for each finding. Results Eighty HIV-positive patients received lung ultrasound examinations; 74 received conventional imaging. The overall sensitivity was 97.5% for CT, 90.7% for ultrasound and 78.1% for radiography. The most common diagnoses were Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (21 cases) and bacterial pneumonia (17 cases). The most frequent and sensitive ultrasonographic findings were interstitial abnormalities indicated by B-lines, independent of the aetiology. Interrater reliability was high for interstitial abnormalities (ICC=0.82). The interrater reliability for consolidations and effusion increased during the study (r=0.88 and r=0.37, respectively). Conclusions Ultrasound is a fast, reliable and sensitive point-of-care tool, particularly in detecting interstitial lung disease, which is common in HIV-associated illness. It does not effectively discriminate between different aetiologies. A longer learning period might be required to reliably identify consolidations and effusions.
