Chest X-ray showed a permeation shadow in her right lower lung, and chest computed tomography (CT) showed pleural thickening, light ground glass opacities (GGOs) right under the pleura, and consolidation with an air bronchogram in the right S6, S9, and S10 segments without fibrotic change from her baseline lung (Fig. 1).
Day 55. (A) Computed tomography of the chest at the time of relapse. Same slice as shown in Figure 1. Consolidation appeared in the right S6 and S9 segments and GGO appeared in multiple affected segments. (B) Computed tomography of the chest. Lower slice of (A). Multifocal consolidation with GGO extending to both of the lower fibrotic lungs.

Chest CT findings showed multifocal consolidation with GGO extending to the bilateral lower aggravated fibrotic lungs (Fig. 2A and B) unlike pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), which mostly showed diffuse GGO of the bilateral lungs.
