A 68-year-old male with MERS-CoV infection. (a) Initial chest radiograph (CXR) obtained 1 day after symptom onset shows ill-defined patchy ground-glass opacities (GGOs) in both middle to lower lung zones. (b) Follow-up CXR obtained 14 days after symptom onset shows rapid progression with bilateral diffuse GGOs and consolidation in both lungs. Also note blunting of left costophrenic angle, suggesting pleural effusion. (c) Follow-up chest CT obtained 18 days after symptom onset shows bilateral consolidation and GGOs with bilateral pleural effusion. He died of respiratory failure.
