A chest X-ray showing increased opacity in both lungs, indicative of pneumonia, in a patient with<unk> <unk> -CoV may be suspected in a patient who has: *Any of the symptoms, including a fever of or higher, and *Either a history of: *Contact (sexual or casual) with someone with a diagnosis of<unk>  within the last 10 days or *Travel to any of the regions identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as areas with recent local transmission of<unk> . * Clinical criteria of<unk> -CoV diagnosis * Early illness: equal to or more than 2 of the following: chills, rigors, myalgia, diarrhea, sore throat (self-reported or observed) * Mild-to-moderate illness: temperature of > plus indications of lower respiratory tract infection (cough, dyspnea) * Severe illness: ≥1 of radiographic evidence, presence of ARDS, autopsy findings in late patients. For a case to be considered probable, a chest X-ray must be indicative for atypical pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome. The WHO has added the category of "laboratory confirmed<unk> " which means patients who would otherwise be considered "probable" and have tested positive for<unk>  based on one of the approved tests (ELISA, immunofluorescence or PCR) but whose chest X-ray findings do not show<unk> -CoV infection (e.g. ground glass opacities, patchy consolidations unilateral). The appearance of<unk> -CoV in chest X-rays is not always uniform but generally appears as an abnormality with patchy infiltrates.
