Ground Glass Opacities Observed in a 26-Year-Old Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Rule-Out Patient With a History of Vape Use

Copyright © 2020, Patel et al..

Pulmonary imaging findings in e-cigarette and vaping use associated lung injury (EVALI) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be similar. One such pulmonary radiographic finding is ground glass opacities (GGOs). These GGOs present a wide differential that is narrowed down through diagnostic testing, deliberation of past medical history as well as medication use, and social history. This case presents GGOs observed in a COVID rule-out admission clinically correlated with EVALI.
