Laboratory parameters in case 1 and 3 and computed tomography (CT) images of three cases. Case 1: timeline charts illustrated leukocytosis, lymphopenia and a high D-dimer concentration (1A-C). The first CTs of chest and brain were obtained on day 12 after the onset of illness. Chest CT showed bilateral multiple mottling and ground-glass opacity. Condensation shadows were observed in the lower right lobe (1D). The CT of the brain showed right frontal lobe infarction with hemorrhagic transformation (1E, yellow arrow). The second chest CT revealed a cavity in condensation shadows in the lower right lobe (1F). Case 2: the first and second chest CTs were obtained on day 1 and 4 after the admission, respectively. A cavitation with fluid level inside was observed in right middle lobe (2A, yellow asterisk). The red arrow indicated closed drainage tube. The second chest CT showed that the lung abscess was fading gradually (2B). Case 3: timeline charts illustrated the elevated serum concentrations of amylase and lipase. On the day 5 after the onset of abdominal pain, the serum concentrations of amylase and lipase reached the peak (3A). The abdomen CT showed edema pancreatitis (3B, red arrows).
