Chest x-ray revealed a perihilar distribution of increased reticular density, extending peripherally with sporadic air bronchograms. (Fig. 1a). On the 8th day of treatment, the patient's respiratory symptoms completely resolved and chest x-ray revealed regression of the pulmonary consolidation (Fig. 1b).
Complete-incomplete consolidation with alveolar distribution was observed in both lungs especially in the upper and middle lobes.
