Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) is a highly infectious type of pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) that has rapidly become a global pandemic. COVID‑19, SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) are all caused by members of the Coronaviridae family. As expected, emerging genetic and clinical evidence from patients with COVID‑19 has indicated that the pathway of infection is similar to that of SARS and MERS. Additionally, much like SARS and MERS, chest imaging serves an important role in the diagnosis, management and follow‑up of patients with COVID‑19. Although these related viruses present a similar pneumonic pathogenesis, the imaging results have distinguishable features. The current review evaluated the imaging results of patients with SARS and MERS and explored the potential similarities and differences among patients with COVID‑19, SARS and MERS at early, progressive, severe and recovery stages, with the aim of improving our understanding of SARS‑CoV‑2 infections by comparing the features of COVID‑19 images with those of SARS and MERS. The current review assessed whether imaging results had implications for the administration of corticosteroids as treatment for COVID‑19. Whether corticosteroids can inhibit inflammatory cytokine storms and reduce the mortality of patients with viral pneumonia remains controversial. However, his review may help radiologists and clinicians to identify viral pneumonia and guide appropriate COVID‑19 treatment.
