Description
Summary:Passive acoustic thermometry (PAT) was used to study the dynamics of changes in the chest temperature of a person with COVID-19 over the course of about two and a half weeks after quarantine. PAT, which can measure deep body temperature, showed that the integral temperature of tissues surrounding the lungs increased from 32.2 ± 0.07 to 33.0 ± 0.03°C about 10 days after the end of quarantine. This may indicate increased blood supply to the lungs, i.e., an indication of recovery. Infrared thermometry used to monitor recovery yielded no results.
