Figure 6c:

A 47-year-old man arriving at the emergency department with fever and diarrhea. (a) The baseline CT scan did not show findings suggestive for a pneumonia-“negative” pattern, but the real-time polymerase chain reaction test was positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. (b) After 5 days, owing to a worsening of the clinical conditions, CT was repeated, revealing a “typical” pattern characterized by bilateral ground-glass opacities (circle). (c) After 12 days (17 days from the onset of symptoms), further radiologic progression with development of diffuse alveolar damage and acute respiratory distress syndrome would lead to the death of the patient.
