Clinical, laboratory, and computed tomography (CT) findings of 5 cases of the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia from patients outside of Wuhan were reviewed. The human-to-human transmission of the virus may explain the infection of the disease outside of Wuhan. CT examination is important in the early detection and follow-up of the disease. With a history of exposure or travelling, symptoms of fever and cough, and the typical CT manifestation such as ground-glass opacity with a peripheral distribution, we should also think of the possibility of the COVID-19 pneumonia in patients outside of Wuhan.
对来自武汉以外地区的 5 例新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）肺炎患者的临床、实验室和计算机断层扫描（CT）检查结果进行了回顾。病毒的人际传播可能解释了武汉以外地区的疾病感染。CT 检查对疾病的早期发现和随访非常重要。对于有接触史或旅行史、发热和咳嗽症状以及外周分布的磨玻璃影等典型 CT 表现的患者，我们也应考虑 COVID-19 肺炎的可能性。
