Systemic Emergencies in COVID-19 Patient: A Pictorial Review

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear editor, dear authors

The manuscript tomography-1630910 is a pictorial essay from the field of medical imaging, which illustrates systematic aspects of COVID-19. The manuscript is an informative assay, addressed to a general medical audience. Lack of novelty and is the main weakness.    

A professional English medical  language proof is strongly recommended.

Best regards

Thank you for your suggestions. We made important revision of the language. Moreover, we have tried to change the manuscript as a pictorial essay.

Reviewer 2 Report

I suggest minimal changes:

-line 45:  "Less frequently they have" change into "Less frequently there are"

-line 113: I'm not sure a "," is needed between "patients" and "to monitor"

-line 144: remove "," between "CNS" and "manifestations"

-line 164: remove "," between "COVID-19" and "myocarditis"

-line 183-184: I suggest to change "Some COVID-19 patients, with no pulmonary manifestations, had only GI symptoms at initial presentation" into "At initial presentation some COVID-19 patients had only GI symptoms without pulmonary manifestations"

-line 187: I suggest to change the word "nitestine" into "bowel"

-line 192-193: I suggest to change "gastro colitis" into "gastritis and colitis"

-line 239: I suggest to remove "," between "manifestations" and "a chest"

-line 239-242: I suggest to rephrase the sentence "Recourse to chest CT must be made only when indispensable and the findings, diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities, are like adult patients" in order to make it more understandable
