Figure 2

Dynamic changes on computed tomography scans for human adenovirus type 55 pneumonia in patient 3. Chest computed tomography scans taken on day 1 show a nodular shadow in the right upper lobe. The nodular shadow expanded dramatically within 3 days and was surrounded by ground-glass opacity on day 4. The lesion was diffuse in both lung fields on day 8. A cavity was observed on day 23, and the mediastinum window shows the formation of pulmonary abscess in the upper right lobe (red arrow). The lung abscess tested negative for Legionella, Staphylococcus and tuberculosis.
