The chest radiographs were assessed for: peribronchial cuffing, ground-glass opacities (GGOs), consolidation, pulmonary nodules and pleural effusion. The severity of the pulmonary findings was graded using a modification of the Brixia score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were a total of 90 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection; the mean age was 5.8 years (age range 7\u2009days to 17 years). Abnormalities were seen on the CXR in 74 (82%) of the 90 patients. Bilateral peribronchial cuffing was seen in 68% (61\/90), consolidation in 11% (10\/90), bilateral central GGOs in 2% (2\/90) and unilateral pleural effusion in 1% (1\/90). Overall the average CXR score in our cohort of patients was 6. The average CXR score in patients with oxygen requirement was 10.
