HRCT scan of the chest showing pulmonary ground-glass opacities,
predominantly in the upper lobes, in A, and in the central regions, in B,
associated with areas of smooth interlobular septal thickening
(arrows).

A HRCT scan of the chest, performed two weeks after symptom onset, revealed ground-glass opacities, predominantly in the upper and middle lung fields, associated with areas of smooth interlobular septal thickening (Figure 1).
HRCT scan of the chest performed three weeks after the onset of the
condition. A comparative analysis of the slices shows significant spontaneous
improvement in the ground-glass opacities, in relation to the first scan, in
the upper lung fields, in A, and at the level of the main carina, in B. There
remain faint ground-glass opacities together with slight reticular infiltrates
in the subpleural regions, predominantly in the right hemithorax, especially in
the middle lobe.

A second HRCT, performed three weeks after symptom onset, showed near-complete resolution of the ground-glass areas (Figure 2).
