case_images: Chest-radiograph showed a consolidation in the right upper pulmonary field (Fig. 1), air blood gases (ABGs) revealed hypocapnea, and blood tests showed leukocytosis (without eosinophilia), high CRP and D-dimers, low albumin and marginally low sodium (Table 1).
case_images: Spiral (unenhanced) abdominal CT demonstrated thickening of small bowel in several loops, haziness of the mesentery and ascitic fluid collection

case_images: On day 2 she had an unenhanced (due to strong history of allergy and no time for desensitization) spiral abdominal CT (Fig. 2), which showed a large amount of free fluid collection and thickening of several small bowel loops, without evidence of perforation.
case_images: Mild thickening of the distal ileum mucosal folds demonstrated by MRI enteroclysis (3 months after the episode and still under corticosteroids) with true-FISP sequence in coronal plane
