In December 2019, a viral pneumonia outbreak caused by a novel betacoronavirus, the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), began in Wuhan, China. We report the epidemiological and clinical features of the first patient with 2019-nCoV pneumonia imported into Korea from Wuhan. This report suggests that in the early phase of 2019-nCoV pneumonia, chest radiography would miss patients with pneumonia and highlights taking travel history is of paramount importance for early detection and isolation of 2019-nCoV cases.
2019 年 12 月，一种新型贝塔冠状病毒——2019 新型冠状病毒（2019-nCoV）引起的病毒性肺炎疫情在中国武汉暴发。我们报告了首例从中国武汉输入韩国的 2019-nCoV 肺炎患者的流行病学和临床特征。本报告提示在 2019-nCoV 肺炎的早期阶段，胸部 X 线检查可能会漏诊肺炎患者，强调旅行史对于早期发现和隔离 2019-nCoV 病例至关重要。
