Artificial Intelligence-guided High-resolution Computer Tomography Assessment in Bilateral COVID-19 Pneumonia of Standalone Ayurveda Successful Case Study

Population exposure to COVID-19 has been troubling people extensively with the involvement of upper respiratory tract symptoms characterized by dyspnea on rest, nasal congestion, pain on cough, mild fever, constipation, insomnia and uneasiness. Patients with multiple system involvements, ages, and compromised immunity from lower socio economic strata are all to be considered. Open demand for hospitals with all the facilities yet not too expensive has a huge surge in patients trying to get admission, this is no secret. A 73-year old retired patient with all the above intense symptoms showing ground-glass bilateral lung involvement was refused admission. High-resolution computer tomography (HRCT) showed 80% parenchymal involvement; fortunately, he was not on any medication, but oxygen saturation was <70%. Financially, he was not able to afford admission and preferred Ayurveda management, which he was always taking. The patient was advised Ayurveda medication, followed telephonic instructions, and overcame anxiety and fear. By the 2nd week, mild fever and constipation were controlled, but persistent coughing and lethargy still troubled the patient. Prayers, Shavasana, and Pranayama were advised to be continued as before. In the 2nd week, from 80%, HRCT showed 64% and a significant reduction in symptoms, and by 4 weeks, HRCT was 8%. The evidence attached from major hospitals before, during, and after Ayurveda management also showed a downward trend, enhancing patients confidence and well-being. The HRCT guided by artificial intelligence was necessary to demonstrate results, decreased symptoms, and significant results that Ayurveda alone could benefit patients much. The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction conducted after therapy was negative. The patient provided support to publish the case.
