case_images: During March 2020, the patient was hospitalized for acute respiratory failure related to COVID-19 pneumonia (Figure 1).
case_images: Three-(a), and six-month follow-up (b) chest HRCT images: stable ground glass opacity (GGO) and interlobular interstitial thickening, mainly in the peripheral-subpleural areas of the left lung; some fibrotic-disventilative stripes are unchanged at the anterior segment of the upper lobe (black arrow) and at the apical segment of the lower lobe, at the dorsal site (pointed arrow). Twenty-six-month follow-up (c) chest HRCT images: almost complete resolution of interstitial lung disease, and only a thin fibrotic-disventilative stripe remains at the anterior segment of the left upper lobe.
