CXR = chest X-ray, CHF = chronic heart disease, CKD = chronic kidney disease, DM = diabetes mellitus, CPD = chronic pulmonary disease, CVA = cerebrovascular accident, CLD = chronic liver disease, IFN = pegylated interferon alpha-2a, RBV = ribavirin, LPV/r = ritonavir boosted lopinavir.
*The first chest radiography showed infiltrates; †This patient refused intubation.
