Arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) reported impaired oxygenation of PaO2/FiO2 at 213 mmHg. The diagnostic RT-PCR on a nasopharyngeal swab specimen was positive for SARS-CoV-2 and a chest CT scan illustrated bilateral pneumonia ( Figure 1a ). On illness day 17, both oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2 348 mmHg) and chest CT significantly improved (Figure 1b) , and she was then weaned from mechanical ventilation. On illness day 12, he was transferred to the intensive care unit and converted to invasive mechanical ventilation because of worsening oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2 84 mmHg) and progressing abnormalities on chest CT scan with extensive ground-glass opacities and partial consolidation on bilateral lungs (Figure 2b ).
