Aims and Objectives: To describe the spectrum and severity of findings of COVID-19 pneumonia on chest radiography in patients who have tested positive on real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in a single Institute in Central India during a span of three months. Results: Most common chest radiographic findings in COVID-19 patients were ground glass opacities, consolidation and hilar lymphadenopathy and pathological chest radiographs were more common among patients with comorbidities. Conclusion: Through this study we have tried to highlight the importance of chest radiography especially portable radiography in inpatient settings in detecting the degree of lung involvement in patients with or without comorbidities.
