(a) Chest CT (POD 4). The scan shows a broad infiltrating shadow with air bronchogram mainly in the dorsal portion of the right lung, leading to a diagnosis of pulmonary suppuration. (b) Chest CT (POD 19). Two weeks later, the broad infiltrating shadow has expanded and shows storage of liquid. Both lungs have ground glass opacity and contain a maculate infiltrating shadow.
