(B) Chest CT performed on February 3 showed consolidation, GGO and strip-like lesions (easily misdiagnosed as fibrosis) in the bilateral lower lobes (yellow arrow). (C) Chest CT performed on February 9 showed strip-like lesions disappeared, and multiple GGO and consolidation presented in the bilateral lower lobes. (D) On April 28 (116 days after symptoms onset), CT image showed that all lesions were absorbed. COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; GGO, ground-glass opacity.
