case_images: The COVID rapid antigen test was positive, and non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) demonstrated bilateral pleural effusions (Figure 1). The high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) had parenchymal ground glass opacities and consolidations compatible with COVID pneumonia (Figure 1).
case_images: Post-aspiration chest X-ray demonstrating complete clearance of the
  effusions. Note the underlying lung shadows compatible with COVID
  pneumonia.

case_images: The post-procedure chest X-ray (Figure 2) and ultrasound revealed complete resolution of the effusions without evidence of pneumothorax.
