“…Lung ultrasound aids in both the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia and the assessment of disease severity [326][327][328]. Adverse sonographic features in COVID-19 include pleural line thickening and irregularity, B lines (a manifestation of interstitial oedema and ground glass opacities on CT), consolidations and pleural effusions [326,328,330,331]. Many of these are present in both COVID-19 and other types of pneumonia [332].…”
