A retrospective review of the patients’ medical history, clinical and laboratory data, as well as imaging findings strongly suggested a diagnosis of COVID-19.\n\nResults\nAll patients had peripheral ground-glass opacities and/or lung consolidations in more than two pulmonary lobes. Lung lesions were characterized by a high 18F-FDG uptake and there was evidence of lymph node involvement. Conversely, disseminated disease was absent, a finding suggesting that COVID-19 has pulmonary tropism.\n\nConclusions\nAlthough 18F-FDG PET/CT cannot be routinely used in an emergency setting and is generally not recommended for infectious diseases, our pilot data shed light on the potential clinical utility of this imaging technique in the differential diagnosis of complex cases.","divisions":[{"label":"sec","span":{"begin":0,"end":177}},{"label":"title","span":{"begin":0,"end":7}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":8,"end":177}},{"label":"sec","span":{"begin":179,"end":603}},{"label":"title","span":{"begin":179,"end":186}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":187,"end":603}},{"label":"sec","span":{"begin":605,"end":934}},{"label":"title","span":{"begin":605,"end":612}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":613,"end":934}},{"label":"title","span":{"begin":936,"end":947}}],"tracks":[{"project":"LitCovid-PD-FMA-UBERON","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":671,"end":675},"obj":"Body_part"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":708,"end":723},"obj":"Body_part"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":725,"end":729},"obj":"Body_part"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":808,"end":818},"obj":"Body_part"}],"attributes":[{"id":"A1","pred":"fma_id","subj":"T1","obj":"http://purl.org/sig/ont/fma/fma7195"},{"id":"A2","pred":"fma_id","subj":"T2","obj":"http://purl.org/sig/ont/fma/fma7311"},{"id":"A3","pred":"fma_id","subj":"T3","obj":"http://purl.org/sig/ont/fma/fma7195"},{"id":"A4","pred":"fma_id","subj":"T4","obj":"http://purl.org/sig/ont/fma/fma5034"},{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-FMA-UBERON"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-FMA-UBERON"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-FMA-UBERON"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-FMA-UBERON"}]},{"project":"LitCovid-PD-UBERON","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":671,"end":675},"obj":"Body_part"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":725,"end":729},"obj":"Body_part"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":808,"end":818},"obj":"Body_part"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":808,"end":813},"obj":"Body_part"}],"attributes":[{"id":"A1","pred":"uberon_id","subj":"T1","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0002048"},{"id":"A2","pred":"uberon_id","subj":"T2","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0002048"},{"id":"A3","pred":"uberon_id","subj":"T3","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0000029"},{"id":"A4","pred":"uberon_id","subj":"T4","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0002391"},{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-UBERON"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-UBERON"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-UBERON"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-UBERON"}]},{"project":"LitCovid-PD-MONDO","denotations":[{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":104,"end":123},"obj":"Disease"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":134,"end":142},"obj":"Disease"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":365,"end":373},"obj":"Disease"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":594,"end":602},"obj":"Disease"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":903,"end":911},"obj":"Disease"},{"id":"T7","span":{"begin":1058,"end":1068},"obj":"Disease"}],"attributes":[{"id":"A2","pred":"mondo_id","subj":"T2","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MONDO_0005087"},{"id":"A3","pred":"mondo_id","subj":"T3","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MONDO_0100096"},{"id":"A4","pred":"mondo_id","subj":"T4","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MONDO_0100096"},{"id":"A5","pred":"mondo_id","subj":"T5","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MONDO_0100096"},{"id":"A6","pred":"mondo_id","subj":"T6","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MONDO_0100096"},{"id":"A7","pred":"mondo_id","subj":"T7","obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MONDO_0005550"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-MONDO"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-MONDO"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-MONDO"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-MONDO"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-MONDO"},{"subj":"T7","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-MONDO"}]},{"project":"LitCovid-PD-CLO","denotations":[{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":12,"end":15},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PR_000001343"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":414,"end":419},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCBITaxon_10239"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":445,"end":446},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CLO_0001020"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":579,"end":580},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CLO_0001020"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":671,"end":675},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0002048"},{"id":"T7","span":{"begin":671,"end":675},"obj":"http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0000934"},{"id":"T8","span":{"begin":725,"end":729},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0002048"},{"id":"T9","span":{"begin":725,"end":729},"obj":"http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0000934"},{"id":"T10","span":{"begin":760,"end":761},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CLO_0001020"},{"id":"T11","span":{"begin":808,"end":818},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0000029"},{"id":"T12","span":{"begin":877,"end":878},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CLO_0001020"},{"id":"T13","span":{"begin":912,"end":915},"obj":"http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CLO_0051582"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-CLO"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-CLO"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"LitCovid-PD-CLO"},{"subj":"T
