Results of a pharyngeal swab specimen analysis by the SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) test confirmed the patient to be positive for COVID-19 (Figure 1). On day 7 of hospitalization, the patient's clinical condition improved and he received high-flow mask oxygen inhalation therapy (Figure 1).
High-resolution computed tomography images during the disease course. (A) chest X-ray image revealing ground-glass opacities (GGO) in the both lobes on day 13 of hospitalization. (B) GGO in the both lobes on day 36. (C) Thickened lung markings in the right lobe on day 44. (D) Multiple-ground-glass opacification in the basal segment of lobes on day 17. (E) GGO in both lower lobes on day 27. (F) GGO in the middle lobe of the right lung on day 44. (G) Filling defect in the trunk and branches of the right inferior pulmonary artery (red arrow). (H) Slightly low-density shadows in the right parietal lobe and the left temporal lobe on day 17 of hospitalization (blue arrow). (I) Hemorrhagic infarction in the right parietal lobe on day 27 (blue arrow). (J) Low-density shadows in the right parietal lobe on day 44 (blue arrow).
