Discordance Between Radiologic Findings and Molecular Testing in Patients With Underlying Hematologic Malignancy and Coronavirus Disease 2019

Abstract

Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is associated with severe disease in patients with hematologic malignancy. We report a series of patients with underlying hematologic malignancy and coronavirus disease of 2019 with discrepancy between radiographic findings and molecular testing. Initial chest x-ray findings should raise suspicion in immunosuppressed patients with typical clinical presentation even with negative initial testing.
