case_images: Chest X-ray was inconclusive and led to multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) of the thorax which revealed bilateral pneumonitis with ground-glass opacification and diffuse consolidation (Figure 1(a)). The patient made a complete clinical recovery and was discharged with maintenance renal dosed valganciclovir therapy and immunosuppression (Figure 1(b)).
