Figures

Fig. 1
Fig. 1. Images from case 1.
Different slices on same CT scan are horizontally arrayed; same slices on different CT scans are vertically arrayed. A–C. First CT performed on hospital day 1 shows patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacity in right lower lobe (arrows). D–F. Second CT performed on hospital day 11 shows resolution of consolidation and ground-glass opacity. CT = computed tomography
Fig. 2
Fig. 2. Images from case 2.
Different slices on same CT scan are horizontally arrayed; same slices on different CT scans are vertically arrayed. A–C. First CT performed on hospital day 1 shows multiple patchy consolidation in subpleural regions of bilateral lungs (arrows). D–F. Second CT performed on hospital day 4 shows decreased consolidation but increased ground-glass opacities in subpleural regions of bilateral lungs (arrows). G–I. Third CT performed on hospital day 16 shows decrease in extent of ground-glass opacities (arrows).

Fig. 3. Images from case 3.
Different slices on same CT scan are horizontally arrayed; same slices on different CT scans are vertically arrayed. A–C. First CT performed on hospital day 1 shows multiple ground-glass opacities in subpleural regions of bilateral lower lobes (arrows). D–F. Second CT performed on hospital day 4 shows increase in ground-glass opacities in subpleural regions of bilateral lower lobes (arrows). G–I. Third CT performed on hospital day 17 shows decrease in ground-glass opacities in subpleural regions of bilateral lower lobes (arrow).
Fig. 4
Fig. 4. Images from case 4.
Different slices on same CT scan are horizontally arrayed; same slices on different CT scans are vertically arrayed. A–C. First CT performed on hospital day 1 shows subtle ground-glass opacity and consolidation in subpleural regions of bilateral lungs (arrows). D–F. Second CT performed on hospital day 5 shows increase in ground-glass opacities and consolidation in subpleural regions of bilateral lungs (arrows). G–I. Third CT performed on hospital day 10 shows increase in ground-glass opacities but decrease in consolidation in subpleural regions of bilateral lungs (arrows). J–L. Fourth CT performed on hospital day 18 shows decrease in ground-glass opacities and consolidation (arrows).
Fig. 5
Fig. 5. Images from case 5.
Different slices on same CT scan are horizontally arrayed; same slices on different CT scans are vertically arrayed. A–C. First CT performed on hospital day 1 shows multiple patchy ground-glass opacities and consolidation in bilateral lungs (arrows). D–F. Second CT performed on hospital day 20 shows decrease in ground-glass opacities and consolidation in bilateral lungs (arrows). G–I. Third CT performed on hospital day 26 shows no change in extent of ground-glass opacities and consolidation in bilateral lungs (arrows). J–L. Fourth CT performed on hospital day 32 shows no change in extent of ground-glass opacities and consolidation in bilateral lungs (arrows).
