A Case of Restrictive Lung Disease Masquerading as Sars-Cov-2 Pneumonia: The Complexity of Integrating Lung Ultrasound in Clinical Management

Abstract

This report aims to highlight the importance of integrating the lung ultrasound findings in the clinical judgement, and to integrate its findings, exemplified in this patient, thought to have COVID-19 bilateral pneumonia, and turn out to have an infectious spondylodiscitis and secondary, a restrictive lung disease.As ultrasound devices become increasingly portable and affordable, the future potential of lung ultrasound relies on a not lesser degree of clinical skills acquisition.
