Introduction
An outbreak of novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome corona-virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) began in Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly. The disease caused by SARS CoV-2 was named as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization. Chest computed tomography (CT) is easily available and is highly strongly recommended for screening patients for rapid confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infected COVID-19. We report a case with COVID-19 pneumonia which has outlined the main patterns of evolution seen on CT imaging though real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction results were negative for a total of four times.
