Images obtained at admission. CT scan demonstrating multiple lobe ground-glass opacities (A and B), chest radiograph with peripheral opacities (C), and CTPA with no signs of thromboembolism (D). CT: computed tomography; CTPA: computed tomography pulmonary angiogram.

CD4+ cell count was 324 cells/microL. Chest computed tomography (CT) images demonstrated ground-glass opacity, and the CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) revealed no signs of a pulmonary thromboembolism (Figure 1).
CTPA with filling defects in the pulmonary arteries bilaterally (A), transthoracic (B), and transesophageal (C) echocardiography showing thrombus in the right atrium. CTPA: computed tomography pulmonary angiogram.

August 6, 2020, he was readmitted due to a new episode of dyspnea, tachycardia, and fever. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed the presence of a right atrial thrombus, the new CTPA demonstrated filling defects in the left pulmonary artery compatible with a pulmonary thromboembolism (Figure 2).
