This is an online E log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent.Here we discuss our individual patient's problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs". This E log book also reflects my patient-centred online learning portfolio and your valuable comments on comment box is welcome.

G.Sai Vidya ,Roll .no:44  Posted in General Medicine from :12th October ,2022 to 11th December,2022 Forever grateful to the entire general medicine team for guiding me throughout my internship in GM department . Thanks to Dr.Rakesh Biswas Sir (HOD) Dr.Aditya Samitinjay Sir(SR) And my unit PGs :Dr.Sai Charan Sir (PGY3),Dr.Shashikala Ma’am (PGY3),Dr.Deepika(PGY1),Dr.Kranthi (PGY1) And thanks to all PGs and my cointerns :) To be very honest ,I never thought I’d love medicine until my internship in medicine department ..every day there is a new thing to learn and new thing to discover ..it’s very fascinating yet simple if we have good hold of the concept ....

ABSTRACT :    There is high prevalence of viral pneumonia secondary to Covid-19 infection ,characterised by lower respiratory tract symptoms & severe inflammatory response.Studies have suggested that virus has a clinical course with stepwise progression of clinical signs&symptoms and radiologic alterations.This study is aimed to investigate the factors that are responsible for different clinical outcomes. Case presentation:      This is a two patient centered comparative study .In this case report we discuss two patients who presented with symptoms of Covid-19 infection.CT imaging suggestive of Viral pneumonia secondary to covid .Inspite of many similarities(age,sex,time of presentation,past history,lifestyle and CTSS,CORADS),clinical outcome of the disease was found to be different in both the patients. Conclusion:     Clinical course of virus may be different in some patients.Special attention should be paid to patients in whom  recovery is delayed due to several factors. Bac
