T22 0-10 Sentence denotes Discussion
T23 11-224 Sentence denotes To our knowledge, this is a novel description of COVID-19 related pleural effusion describing the pleural fluid analysis of virus detection confirmed by RT-PCR and behaving as a complicated parapneumonic effusion.
T24 225-336 Sentence denotes There is a paucity of data describing the pleural complications in relation to the viral infections in general.
T25 337-532 Sentence denotes A prior study by Cohen and Sahn,1 reported an 8% incidence of pleural effusions in patients with acute viral infection, while using lateral decubitus chest X-rays incidence is reported to be 18%.
T26 533-696 Sentence denotes However, the true incidence of viral related pleural effusion may be even higher if pleural ultrasonography is used as a screening tool for pleural fluid presence.
T27 697-826 Sentence denotes In a review by Nestor et al., 2 the pleural fluid analysis in viral related pleural effusion is variable and typically exudative.
T28 827-907 Sentence denotes Pleural fluid appearance can range from serous, serosanguineous, to hemorrhagic.
T29 908-1193 Sentence denotes With respect to the SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, review of literature reveals the prevalence of pleural effusion can be as high as 14% in patients.3–5 In one of the largest trials, Li et al.3 described intrathoracic lymph node enlargement in 67% of cases and pleural effusion in 14% of cases.
T30 1194-1300 Sentence denotes Patients with more severe cases have a higher prevalence of both lymphadenopathy and pleural effusions.3–5
T31 1301-1393 Sentence denotes Pleural fluid analysis in this case showed an exudative effusion with high lymphocyte count.
T32 1394-1595 Sentence denotes Even though pleural fluid analysis is rarely diagnostic in isolation, the differential diagnosis of a lymphocytic, exudative pleural effusion is broad and would include viral related pleural effusions.
T33 1596-1764 Sentence denotes In our case, SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected using RT-PCR, which is consistent with the diagnosis of a complicated parapneumonic effusion from SARS-CoV-2 related pneumonia.
T34 1765-1786 Sentence denotes Conflict of interest.
T35 1787-1801 Sentence denotes None declared.
T36 1802-1811 Sentence denotes Figure 1.
T37 1813-1966 Sentence denotes An axial image of a contrasted chest computed tomography (CT) at the level of the bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery and at the level of the hilum.
T38 1967-2043 Sentence denotes The chest CT demonstrates a large, left-sided, non-complex pleural effusion.
T39 2044-2168 Sentence denotes There are pathologically enlarged lymph nodes, defined by >1 cm in short axis, located in the sub-carinal and hilar regions.
