• Median platelets normal, with slight decrease in <35%
• AST/ALT increase in 4-35%
Biomarkers
• CRP increased in 61-86%
• LDH increased in 27-75%
• Procalcitonin > 0.5 in 5-10% (but 14% if severe, 24% if ICU)

COVID-19 - A Seattle Intensivist's One-Page Cheat-Sheet on COVID-19 v2.7 Updated March 26 2020
(v2.7) incorporating newer published data, and more info about ventilator weaning.
(v2.6) on caring for people with #COVID19 in the ICU, now reflecting new data from @matthewarentz et al JAMA paper as well as data on new treatment options.
(v2.5) It reflects new data on mortality rate in the US and updated treatment recommendations.
(v2.4) added more details and clarified the treatment section (several investigational therapies; steroids NOT recommended)
(v2.3) updated to reflect newer info and with references.
Nomenclature (NOT "Wuhan Virus")
• Infection: Coronavirus Disease 2019 a.k.a. COVID-19
• Virus: SARS-CoV-2, 2019 Novel Coronavirus
Epidemiology
• Attack rate = 30-40%
• Ro = 2-4 (similar to influenza)
• CFR = 3.4% (worldwide numbers)
• Incubation time = 4-14 days typically (up to 24 days)
Timeline:
• China notifies WHO 2019-12-31
• First US case in Seattle 2020-1-15
• WHO Declared pandemic 2020-3-11
• National emergency 2020-3-12
Diagnosis/Presentation
Symptoms
• 65-80% cough
• 45% febrile on presentation (85% febrile during illness)
• 20-40% dyspnea
• 15% URI symptoms
• 10% GI symptoms
Imaging
• CXR: hazy bilateral peripheral opacities
• CT: ground glass opacities (GGO), crazy paving, consolidation, *rarely may be unilateral*
• POCUS: numerous B-lines, pleural line thickening, consolidations w/ air bronchograms

Type L:
- Low elastance. The nearly normal compliance indicates that the amount of gas in the lung is nearly normal
- Low ventilation-to-perfusion (VA/Q) ratio. Since the gas volume is nearly normal, hypoxemia may be best explained by the loss of regulation of perfusion and by loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction. Accordingly, at this stage, the pulmonary artery pressure should be near normal.
- Low lung weight. Only ground-glass densities are present on CT scan, primarily located subpleurally and along the lung fissures. Consequently, lung weight is only moderately increased.
- Low lung recruitability. The amount of non-aerated tissue is very low; consequently, the recruitability is low
Type H:
- High elastance. The decrease in gas volume due to increased edema accounts for the increased lung elastance.
- High right-to-left shunt. This is due to the fraction of cardiac output perfusing the non-aerated tissue which develops in the dependent lung regions due to the increased edema and superimposed pressure.
- High lung weight. Quantitative analysis of the CT scan shows a remarkable increase in lung weight (> 1.5 kg), on the order of magnitude of severe ARDS.
- High lung recruitability. The increased amount of non-aerated tissue is associated, as in severe ARDS, with increased recruitability.

Drug Induced Lupus vs SLE
Drug Induced Lupus (DIL):
• Epidemiology: -10% of all lupus cases, drug-dependent, 4:1 to 1:1 F:M
• Clinical Manifestations: Constitutional symptoms, Arthritis, myalgia, serositis, Kidney & NPSLE rare, Malar rash is rare in DIL, SCLE-DIL (terbinafine, thiazidic, PPI, ACE, calcium-b)
• Laboratory Manifestations:
- CRP - Usually normal (except with serositis)
- Cytopenia - Less common (drug-dependent)
• Immunologic Workup:
- ANA > 95% (IgG anti-chromatin)
- Anti-ENA - Rare (SSA+ for cutaneous DIL), anti-Sm rare
- Anti-dsDNA - Rarely positive (common with anti-TNF)
- Anti-histone - Positive in >90%
- Low complement - Rare
- pANCA anti-MPO - Seen with PTU (50%) and minocycline (65-100%)
• Prognosis: Usually mild forms with constitutional symptoms
• Treatment: Discontinuation of causal drug +++, Hydroxychloroquine, csDMARDs and/or bDMARDs (rare), Topics for cutaneous-DIL
• Evolution: Disappearance of manifestations (weeks to months) and of autoantibodies (months to years)
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE):
• Epidemiology: 10-180/100,000, Typically Age 20-40, F:M 9:1
• Clinical Manifestations: Malar rash, Photosensitivity, Alopecia, oral ulcers, Lupus nephritis, NPSLE - If present, are evocative of SLE versus DIL
• Laboratory Manifestations:
- CRP: Usually normal (except with serositis)
- Cytopenia: Common
• Immunologic Workup:
- ANA >
- Anti-ENA - Positive in up to 30%
- Anti-dsDNA - Positive in 60-80% of cases
- Anti-histone - Positive in 60-80%
- Low complement - 50-60%
- pANCA anti-MPO - Negative
• Prognosis: Minor to life-threatening
• Treatment: Usual therapeutic management of SLE
• Evolution: Chronic disease
