Fig. 2: Imaging of the patient’s chest.

Computed tomographic (CT) scan obtained on day 6 of illness (A–C). CT scan showed multiple patchy high-density shadows in both lungs, especially in the lower lobe of the right lung and the left lung. Chest radiographs showed patchy high-density shadows in both lungs on day 7 of illness (D). After treatment 2 days, the pulmonary shadows were absorbed slightly on day 8 of illness (E) and on day 9 of illness (F). The consolidation shadow in the left lung was more absorbed than before on day 16 of illness (G–I) and day 31 of illness (J–L).
