Özet

Introduction: COVID-19 pneumonia typically presents with high fever, cough, and shortness of breath and on thorax computed tomography (CT) peripheral ground glass opacities help the diagnosis. Although typical imaging findings for COVID-19 pneumonia are specified in thorax CT, these findings can confused with other diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the roles of radiological imaging and laboratory findings in the differential diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia and acute heart failure (AHF).
