Case Discussion
The patient has a history of close contact with a person with a known case of COVID-19 and had symptoms of the disease, but 3 negative PCR tests in 1 week. The day after the CT scan, the patient was re-tested for COVID-19, and the result of PCR was positive and the CT changes reflect COVID-19 pneumonia.
