Figure 1. In A and B, respectively, axial and coronal CT scans of the chest showing extensive bilateral ground-glass opacities, associated with fine reticulation and small foci of consolidation, consistent with COVID-19. Note also bilateral pleural effusions. In C and D, respectively, sagittal and axial CT images of the chest showing cavitated pulmonary lesions (arrows) in the left upper lobe, superimposed on the findings of COVID-19. In E, bronchoscopic findings of grossly necrotic tissue and yellowish secretion, suggesting fungal colonization.
