Case report patient #1-Left main bronchus (A) white-light, (B) Narrow band imaging (NBI) of the same region. Case report patient #2:Left main bronchus (C) white-light, (D) NBI of the same region. These images show in patients #1 and #2 a bronchial hypervascularization with dilated vessels. Note that in patient #1 the heavy dilated bronchial vessels developed on the axis of the bronchus, without any concomitant bronchial abnormalities. Patient #3:Right main bronchus (E) white-light, (F) NBI of the same region. These images show an example of the bronchial vascularization in a 77-year-old male patient hospitalized for a non-COVID-19 infection.

NBI bronchoscopy revealed a diffuse hypervascularization of the mucosa from the trachea to the sub-segmental bronchi, associated with dilated submucosal vessels (Figures 1C,D).
