Abstract

The study  was conducted to describe the characteristics and severity of lung lesions  by age group (< 18; 18 - 59, and ≥ 60 years old), on 197 COVID-19 patients  tested positive by RT-PCR method. The mean age of the patient was 38.7 ± 17.7 years (range 3 - 94 years). On CT, the most common lesions are opacified ground-glass without / with solidification. Uncommon lesions include subpleural fibrous band, vasodilatation, pneumothorax, bronchial wall thickening, paving stones, reversible halo sign, and cavernous lesions. The lesion distribution is mainly in the periphery and the posterior part and both sides of the lung. The mean score of severity on chest CT was 4.68. The  elderly  patients had  more commonly seen ground-glass opacity bilateral lung lesions , and the mean scores of severity on CT was high. Therefore, CT scan is necessary to have a timely plan of treatment for elderly people who show symptoms of Covid-19 infection in the early stages.
