A nasopharyngeal swab, using RT-PCR, tested positive for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Between Days 8 and 25 of hospitalization, three specific serologies for SARS-CoV-2 were performed, all of which strongly demonstrated positive IgM and IgG levels (BIOSYNEX COVID-19 BSS rapid test, Strasbourg, France). We believe that patients that present with a severe form of COVID-19 pneumonia would benefit from a well-defined and specific followup after hospital discharge, including early clinical examination, chest CT, and pulmonary-function tests. Figure 1 : A: Chest radiography showing bilateral diffuse ground-glass opacities, which are consistent with a COVID-19 infection, four days after symptom onset. B: Axial chest CT, one month after symptom onset, revealing one pulmonary abscess in the right lower lobe, which is associated with sub-pleural bilateral ground-glass opacities that are consistent with partially resolved moderate-to-severe COVID-19 pneumonia. ./cache/cord-324270-8rgkop42.txt ./txt/cord-324270-8rgkop42.txt
