Figure 11  Lung ultrasonography presentation of B-lines (green panel), subpleural consolidations (white panel), and lung ultrasound scores (orange panel) at different lung zones (anterior, lateral, posterior) in patients with a primary diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (n = 11) and without coronavirus disease 2019 (other, n = 38). Boxplots around median and interquartile range (IQR), with outliers within 1.5 IQR of the nearest quartile. Other (extrapulmonary infection/inflammation (n = 10), pneumonia of other etiology (n = 8), exacerbated asthma/ chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n = 7), pulmonary neoplasia (n = 4), pulmonary embolism (n = 2), congestive heart failure (n = 2), and not documented (n = 5)). Statistically significant outcomes with P < 0.05. Data utilized from Speidel et al[67]. COVID-19: Coronavirus disease 2019; LUSS: Lung ultrasound score.
