Abstract

A 41-year-old woman with a travel history to Wuhan, China, where the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was spreading (1), presented with a 4-day history of fever.Laboratory examinations and chest radiographs were negative.Chest CT (Figure ) showed multifocal ground-glass opacities in the perihilar and subpleural regions of both lungs, a common finding of 2019-nCoV-infected pneumonia (2-5).A throat swab was positive for 2019-nCoV on the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay.The patient was immediately isolated for clinical monitoring.Disclosures of Conflicts of Interest: P.L. disclosed no relevant relationships.X.T.
