Imaging changes in the first case of recovery from H7N9. Panel a (6 March) showed multiple segmental ground-glass opacity lesions in the middle and lower lobe of the right lung with clear signs of air bronchogram. The left lung showed no pathological abnormalities, and no signs of mediastinal lymph node enlargement were seen. Panel b (10 March) showed that the opacities had become more confluent and dense, revealing a progressing inflammatory response. Panel c (17 March) showed that inflammation was absorbed compared to the findings from 10 March. Panel d (24 April) showed that inflammation was clearly further absorbed compared to previous findings.

Inflammation had also clearly progressed (Fig. 1b). Chest-CT scanning showed that inflammation was absorbed compared to the findings from 10 March, but irregular opacities remained in the mid-lower lobe of the right lung (Fig. 1c). CT scanning clearly showed that inflammation was further absorbed compared to earlier findings (Fig. 1d).
