COVID-19 pneumonia-mimicking vasculitic diseases. a Axial CT image of a patient diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangiitis shows bilateral upper lobe GGOs with superimposed septal thickenings due to hemorrhage. Bilateral minimal pleural effusion is seen (asterisks). b Similar bilateral upper lobe GGOs with superimposed septal thickenings are observed in COVID-19 pneumonia. c Bilateral mostly peripheral subtle GGOs in a patient diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss)(arrows). d Peripheral subtle GGOs are seen in a COVID-19 patient as an early finding (arrows)
