(a) X-ray of the patient on arrival to the hospital. (b) A high-resolution CT scan of the lungs showing areas of ground glassing with fibrotic changes and bronchiectatic changes involving both the lungs. A pattern consistent with fibrotic NSIP.

X-ray done during admission revealed bilateral reticulonodular opacities in all lung zones as shown in Figure 1(a). Hence, the authors decided to proceed with high-resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) of the chest which showed bilateral symmetrical diffuse ground-glass opacities with superimposed fibrotic changes noted in the form of irregular inter/intralobular septal thickening with associated mild tractional bronchiectasis as shown in Figure 1(b).
A follow-up chest radiography of the same patient showing near-complete resolution of the lung infiltrates.

Post-treatment completion her X-ray showed improvement in the form of disappearing infiltrates as shown in Figure 2.
