    We report two cases of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Both patients are believed to have exposure related to Wuhan, China (1-4). We demonstrate change in the course of disease over time on CT scan (5-6).

    Case 1: A 45-year-old woman living in Wuhan, China, was admitted to the hospital for 2 days due to cough and fever. On admission, her body temperature was elevated (38.2°C) and there were coarse breath sounds of both lungs at auscultation. Her laboratory studies showed: neutrophil ratio increased (81.2%,normal range 40.0%-75.0%), lymphocyte ratio decreased (12.8%, normal range 20.0%-50.0%), erythrocyte sedimentation rate was increased (24 mm/h, normal range < 20mm/h), D-dimer concentration was normal, Lymphokine IL-6 was increased (27.47 pg/ml, normal range 0.1-2.9 pg/ ml). Real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction of the patient’s sputum was positive for the 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. Unenhanced chest CT showed multiple bilateral areas of peripheral consolidation (Fig 1. A1-2). There was interlobular septal thickening with a crazy paving appearance and bronchiectasis. The adjacent pleura was thickened, without mediastinal lymphadenopathy or pleural fluid. Two days after admission, the patient’s temperature rose to 39.2°C and constitutional symptoms worsened. Repeat chest CT showed progressive consolidation with loss of the areas of crazy paving (Fig1. A3-4). After antiviral and symptomatic treatment, the patient remains under close observation with improvement in symptoms.

She had stayed with a friend who had been diagnosed with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) pneumonia in Wuhan, China, 5 days previously.

    • A 33-year-old woman presented to the hospital with a 5-day history of fever and cough of unknown cause. She indicated that she worked in Wuhan, China (the center of novel coronavirus outbreak) but had traveled to Lanzhou, China, 6 days before presentation to the hospital. At admission, her body temperature was elevated to 39.0°C (102.2°F) and coarse breath sounds of both lungs were heard at auscultation. Laboratory studies showed leucopenia (white blood cell count: 2.91 × 109/L). The white blood cell differential count showed 70.0% neutrophils and 0.1% eosinophils. There were elevated blood levels for C-reactive protein (16.16 mg/L; normal range, 0–10 mg/L), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (29 mm/h; normal range, <20 mm/h), and D-dimer (580 ng/mL; normal range, 500 ng/mL). Unenhanced chest CT showed multiple peripheral ground-glass opacities in both lungs (Figure, A) that did not spare the subpleural regions. Real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction of the patient’s sputum was positive for the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) nucleic acid. On the basis of epidemiologic characteristics, clinical manifestations, chest images, and laboratory findings, the diagnosis of 2019-nCoV pneumonia was made. After receiving 3 days of treatment, combined with interferon inhalation, the patient was clinically worse with progressive pulmonary opacities found at repeat chest CT (Figure, B). Unenhanced CT images in a 33-year-old woman. A, Image shows multiple ground-glass opacities in bilateral lungs. Ground-glass opacities are seen in the posterior segment of right upper lobe and apical posterior segment of left superior lobe. B, Image obtained 3 days after follow-up shows progressive ground-glass opacities in the posterior segment of right upper lobe and apical posterior segment of left superior lobe. The bilateralism of the peripheral lung opacities, without subpleural sparing, are common CT findings of the 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia.
