Figure 1. In A, bedside chest X-ray (CXR) demonstrating bilateral lung opacities in the middle and lower fields and possible right pleural effusion. In B, bedside CXR taken two weeks later showed significant improvement of lung opacities. In C, axial CT scan confirming lung involvement and extensive ground-glass opacities, sometimes tending to consolidate, along with septal thickening. In D, a spine MRI performed a few days prior to chest CT reliably ruled out previous lung diffuse abnormalities. Coronal CT scans confirmed significant improvement that were depicted in the control CXR (baseline CT scan in E vs. control CT scan taken two weeks later in F).
