On the 6th day, chest CT showed patchy infiltration and small nodules of bilateral lung lobes ( Figures 1A, B ). Chest CT on the 15th day demonstrated multiple enlarged nodules, partial cavitary lesions ( Figures 1D, E ). Although trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ), ceftriaxone combined amphotericin B were used, the patient's situation deteriorated with head MRI scanning displaying multiple long T1/T2 signal lesions suggesting multiple brain abscesses on the 24th day ( Figures 1C, F ).
