Radiologic findings of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), a novel coronavirus infection, have been rarely reported. We report a 30-year-old male presented with fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, who was diagnosed with MERS. A chest computed tomographic scan revealed rapidly developed multifocal nodular consolidations with ground-glass opacity halo and mixed consolidation, mainly in the dependent and peripheral areas. After treatment, follow-up imaging showed that these abnormalities markedly decreased but fibrotic changes developed.
中东呼吸综合征(MERS)是一种新型冠状病毒感染,其放射学表现鲜有报道。我们报告一例30岁男性患者,出现发热、腹痛和腹泻症状,被诊断为中东呼吸综合征。胸部计算机断层扫描显示迅速出现多灶性结节状实变,并伴有磨玻璃样密度影晕和混合性实变,主要位于下垂部位和外周区域。治疗后,随访影像显示这些异常明显减轻,但出现了纤维化改变。
