Background: Computed tomography (CT) is one of the main diagnostic tools for early detection and management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia This study aims to highlight the commonly encountered CT findings in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia in Egypt and the mean severity score and its correlation with the imaging findings This study involved 200 patients with pathologically confirmed COVID-19 infection;non-contrast CT chest was performed for all cases;in addition, CT findings and severity score (CT-SS) were then assessed using descriptive analysis, and the correlation between the CT findings and disease severity was assessed Results: The ground-glass densities and peripheral adhesions were the most typical CT findings Prominent interlobular septations;bronchial thickening/dilatation;CT signs of crazy-paving, halo, and reversed halo;and reactive mediastinal lymphadenopathy were significantly correlated with disease severity The mean CT-SS of Egyptian patients with COVID-19 pneumonia was 11 2 (mild to moderate severity) Conclusion: Multislice CT played a vital role in the early identification of Egyptian patients with COVID-19 pneumonia The assessment of the CT severity score of COVID-19 is essential for the extent of pneumonia involvement to help clinicians achieve the purpose of early diagnosis and accurate treatment © 2020, The Author(s)
