C-reactive protein 12.2 mg/dL and erythrocyte sedimentation rate 34 mm/h. Chest radiograph showed heterogeneous congestion of the lungs (Figure 1).
Control X-ray: multifocal inflammatory and atelectatic areas are seen in the right lobe which was defined as progression of pathological changes. Similar changes are also present in the left lower lobe.

An immediately performed chest radiograph showed multifocal inflammatory lesions in both lungs, and atelectatic areas in the right one which was defined as progression of pathological changes compared to the previous examination (Figure 2).
CT. Initial examination shows massive hypodense, irregular area of lung tissue consolidation in the basal lobes of the right and left lung. After 1 month a control scan revealed almost complete regression of radiological findings in the lungs. The last scan after 3 months showed only pleural parenchymal scarring and no other findings.

It showed a massive hypodense, irregular area of lung tissue consolidation in the basal lobes of the right lung (Figures 3 and 4). A control chest HRCT revealed almost complete regression of radiological findings (Figure 3). It showed only pleural parenchymal scarring and no other findings (Figure 3).
CT scans - consolidations in the basal lobes of both lungs in the pulmonary and mediastinal window.

It showed a massive hypodense, irregular area of lung tissue consolidation in the basal lobes of the right lung (Figures 3 and 4).
Control X-ray shows partial regression of inflammatory lesions in both lungs.
