Transition of therapeutic agents and interstitial lung disease markers and CT images.. Linear line indicates the upper limit of normal for KL-6 and linear dotted line indicates it for SP-D. Each CT image shows the following, A: On admission, B: Hospital day 10, C: Hospital day 17, D: Hospital day 32. Bar graphs represent oxygen doses (L/min). SARS-CoV-2 PCR was performed at Hospital day 18 and 19.

C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, and ferritin; normal levels of procalcitonin, D-dimer, KL-6, and SP-D; and reduced levels of eosinophils and lymphocytes (Table 1). CT imaging revealed bilateral GGOs with superimposed intralobular reticulations in a crazy-paving pattern in both lung fields (Fig. 1A). CT imaging revealed that the bilateral GGOs observed earlier had progressed to lung consolidation, and there were no new GGOs (Fig. 1B). CT imaging performed on day 7 after starting corticosteroid therapy (day 17) revealed less intense lung lesions than previous evaluated (Fig. 1C). SARS-CoV-2. Serial changes in serum biomarkers evaluated throughout her hospital stay are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 1.
