In our case series, PPLs in patients with RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 infection presented a CEUS pattern with NPA during the complete CEUS examination. Our findings suggest a peripheral pulmonary perfusion disturbance in patients with COVID-19 infection. In 1 case, the histopathological correlation with the perfusion disturbance in the PPL was proven.
