Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed vegetation on the posterior mitral valve prolapse in the OG, measuring 12*8mm (Figure 1A, B) Chest, abdomen and pelvis computed tomography revealed bilateral ground-glass pulmonary involvement, a focus of condensation and a defect in opacification of the right hypogastric branch (Figure 2) Biological analysis has shown a high level of ferritin (2080ng/mL), lymphopenia (490 element/mm3), moderate elevation in C-reactive protein (37 mg/L), fibrinogen of (4.2g/L) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of (240UI/l), the PCR test for COVID-19 was negative and the COVID-19 serology was positive (IgG). Follow-up and outcomes: a follow-up echocardiography after two weeks revealed the disappearance of the vegetative lesion (Figure 1C).
thoracic CT scan in the axial: A): and coronal plane; B): revealed 30% of CT abnormalities related to the COVID-19 infection
