PEDİATRİK COVID-19 HASTALARINDA TORAKS BT BULGULARI VE RT-PCR TEST SONUÇLARI İLE KORELASYONU

Amaç: COVID-19 ön tanısı olan çocuk hastalarda revers transkriptaz-polimeraz zincir reaksiyon (RT-PCR) testisonuçları ile toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) bulgularını karşılaştırmak. Materyal ve Metot: Retrospektif olarak, 177 çocuk hastada toraks BT bulguları ve RT-PCR test sonuçlarıdeğerlendirildi. Test sonuçlarına göre hastalar ‘COVID-19 pozitif’ ve ‘COVID-19 negatif’ olmak üzere iki grubaayrıldı. Bulgular: COVID-19 pozitif grupta hastaların %65,71’inin ailesinde COVID-19 tanısı bulunmaktaydı (p

CHEST CT FINDINGS AND THEIR CORRELATION WITHRT-PCR TESTING IN PEDIATRIC COVID-19 PATIENTS

Objectives: To compare the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results and chest computerized tomography (CT) findings in pediatric patients with a pre-diagnosis of COVID-19.Materials and Methods: The thorax CT examinations and RT-PCR test results were retrospectively evaluated in 177 children. According to the test results, the patients were divided into two groups as ‘COVID-19-positive’ and ‘COVID-19-negative’.Results: In the COVID-19-positive group, 65.71% of the patients with a family history of COVID-19 (p
