(a). Bilateral apical curvilinear reticular and central bullous changes. (b). Linear reticular changes in the right middle lobe/medial segment. (c). Focal fibrosis areas accompanied with tubular bronchiectasis corresponding middle lobe medial segment inferior part on the right at the level of the inferior pulmonary vein. (d). Reticular fibrotic changes in peripheral areas in the basal segments.

However, the findings were not high enough to suggest PCF [Figure 1].
(a). The CT scan performed at the public hospital showed consolidation and GGO areas corresponding anatomically to the same location with apical reticular and bullous changes at the bilateral pulmonary apex. (b). Generalized consolidation and GGO were observed in the axial CT image from carina level. (c). Coronal and (d). Axial CT images before infection with COVID-19 showed that the pulmonary apices were clear.

Thus, the patient got diagnosed with PCF, and AFBD was not considered based on serial radiological evaluation [Figure 2].
