Figure 1. (A, B). Chest computed tomography (CT) findings in a 63-year-old woman with SARS-CoV-2 infection who developed severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The chest CT on day 2 shows hazy ground-glass opacities (GGOs) that do not obscure the underlying pulmonary anatomy. Although GGOs are not specific for COVID-19 pneumonia, they have been commonly described. (C, D) Chest computed tomography (CT) findings in a 63-year-old woman with SARS-CoV-2 infection who developed severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The chest CT on day 8 shows progression of lesions in comparison to the previous examination. Extensive consolidations with crazy paving pattern are visible in lower pulmonary lobes, multiple GGO in both lobes, and consolidations in the 6th segment of the right lung are present. Lesions typical for progressive/peak phase of coronavirus pneumonia. (E, F) Chest computed tomography (CT) findings in a 63-year-old woman with SARS-CoV-2 infection who developed severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Chest CT on day 20 shows regression of lesions in comparison to previous examinations. Irregular consolidations in the 4th segment of the right lung, small consolidation in the 9th segment of the left lung, and disseminated GGO are still present. Lesions typical of the remission phase of coronavirus pneumonia.
