case_images: Patient's chest computed tomography (CT) scan images at three time points. (A) Initial chest CT showed bilateral peribronchchial distribution of multifocal opacities and consolidations. (B) After taking methylprednisolone for 2 months, chest CT revealed that the bilateral opacities and consolidations were significantly absorbed. (C) After taking methylprednisolone for 3 months and the patient just stopped using it, chest imaging revealed that the bilateral opacities and consolidations were aggravated again.

case_images: His chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated bilateral peribronchchial distribution of multifocal opacities and consolidations (Figure 1A). At the 2-month follow-up after discharge, chest CT revealed that the bilateral opacities and consolidations were significantly reduced (Figure 1B). The chest image revealed that bilateral and multifocal opacities and consolidations were aggravated again (Figure 1C).
