His chest X-ray (Figure 1(a)) demonstrated bilateral alveolar consolidations and a reticular enhanced lung parenchyma in the lower lobes. A chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan (Figures 1(b) and 1(c)) of the thorax revealed increased asymmetric bilateral (right more than left) patchy alveolar consolidations with adjective ground-glass opacity, suggestive for a superinfection above the initial aspiration pneumonia. A positive evolution was noted on a new chest CT scan on day 50 (Figure 1(f)), with minor residual abnormalities suggestive of a previous infection.
