Özet
Amaç: COVID-19 ön tanısı olan çocuk hastalarda revers transkriptaz-polimeraz zincir reaksiyon (RT-PCR) testisonuçları ile toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) bulgularını karşılaştırmak. Materyal ve Metot: Retrospektif olarak, 177 çocuk hastada toraks BT bulguları ve RT-PCR test sonuçlarıdeğerlendirildi. Test sonuçlarına göre hastalar ‘COVID-19 pozitif’ ve ‘COVID-19 negatif’ olmak üzere iki grubaayrıldı. Bulgular: COVID-19 pozitif grupta hastaların %65,71’inin ailesinde COVID-19 tanısı bulunmaktaydı (p
