On MDCT, the ground-glass opacities and areas of consolidation had a predominant peribronchovascular and subpleural distribution, resembling organizing pneumonia.

CONCLUSION. Radiography showed peripheral lung opacities. CT revealed peripheral ground-glass opacities suggesting peribronchial injury. These imaging findings raised suspicion of S-OIV despite negative H1N1 influenza rapid antigen test results from two nasopharyngeal swabs; subsequently, those results were proven to be false-negatives by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. This case suggests a role for CT in the early recognition of severe S-OIV. (Source: American Journal of Roentgenology)
