case_images: Chest, abdominal and brain computerized tomography (CT) scans revealed pulmonary inflammation, pleural effusion, pelvic effusion and ventriculomegaly (Figure 1a and b).

case_images: On the 5th to 7th day of admission, a notable reduction in temperature was observed (Figure 2a). C-reactive protein levels (Figure 2b). On the 13th to 17th day, the blood routine examination showed gradual increases in leukocyte and thrombocyte counts (Figure 2c, 2d). Leukocytes in CSF were higher than before (333 x 106/L vs 3 x 106/L), but protein in CSF decreased (864 mg/L vs 2270 mg/L). Chest CT scan revealed pulmonary inflammation was relieved, but cavitary lesions formed, in contrast to the previous condition (Figure 3a).
case_images: (a) Chest CT showed pulmonary inflammation relieved, but cavitary lesions formed (black arrows); (b) Brain MRI of the brain revealed ventriculomegaly, along with abnormal signal intensities observed in the bilateral precornu, the left frontal lobe, and the triangular region of white matter (black arrows).
