Does bronchoscopy help the diagnosis in COVID-19 infection?

Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the agent responsible for the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The virus is predominantly spread through large droplets. The clinical features of COVID-19 are varied, ranging from asymptomatic to acute respiratory distress syndrome and multi-organ dysfunction [1]. This study evaluates the real value of using bronchoscopy to exclude the diagnosis of COVID-19 in patients with multiple negative nasal/oropharyngeal swabs <https://bit.ly/2zmSgE8>
