CT scan was performed, which revealed mild bilateral patchy high-density shadows in both lungs (Fig. 1A). Considering the clinical presentation of viral pneumonia in a patient at the time of the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak, she was admitted to the hospital with a high suspicion for SARS-CoV-2 infection. A chest CT scan taken at the time demonstrated severe bilateral ground-glass opacities consistent with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, Fig. 1B).
