Sequencing was performed on the lavage fluid, and a follow-up chest x-ray showed increased transparency in the left lung (Figure 2). Subsequently, the patient received intravenous azithromycin to fight off infection, methylprednisolone to suppress inflammation, ambroxol to liquefy sputum, and nebulized inhalation.
Reviewed chest x-ray before discharge (the lesion in the left lung has been mostly absorbed).
