of 2019-nCoV pneumonia are caused by a novel type of coronavirus. The 2019-nCoV is the seventh member of the coronavirus family that includes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) (1234). Most early patients had a history of exposure to the South China Seafood Market in Wuhan. The source of infection is thought to be wild animals, possibly the Chinese rufous horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sinicus) (5678). Transmission of 2019-nCoV is mainly via droplets but can also be through contact. People are generally susceptible to the 2019-nCoV infection and the elderly patients or those with underlying diseases are more seriously affected. The incubation period of 2019-nCoV is generally 3–7 days but no longer than 14 days, and the virus is infective during the incubation period. The main symptom is fever with a temperature \u003e 38℃. Other symptoms include fatigue, dry cough, and diarrhea, and acute respiratory distress syndrome can occur in severe cases (910).\nThe two patients described here were admitted to our hospital because of fever and relatively mild symptoms. According to the laboratory examination results, both patients had normal leukocyte counts. However, case 1 had a reduced percentage of lymphocytes and elevated CRP levels, consistent with viral infections. In case 2, the percentage of lymphocytes and CRP levels were normal, although this difference may be attributed to the milder symptoms of this patient. As a result, this case was prone to misdiagnosis in the clinic. However, 2019-nCoV pneumonia was diagnosed in case 2 based on the characteristic CT findings, which were further confirmed using positive results of the timely rRT-PCR analysis.\nBoth patients reported here showed multiple areas of patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacities in both lungs, with most of the lesions distributed along the bronchial bundles or in the subpleural areas, particularly in the lower lobes. Neither patient showed pleural effusion or lymphadenopathy. In the SARS outbreak in 2003, infected patients exhibited rapid progression of lung lesions, with both lungs showing diffuse infiltration within a short period and producing “white lungs” and mediastinal emphysema (1112). In contrast, these lung lesions are relatively mild and are easily misdiagnosed as bronchopneumonia or any common viral infection. In addition, no obvious fibrosis was found in these cases, which may be related to the short course and mild intensity of the disease in these patients; this speculation remains to be confirmed using subsequent large-scale studies.\nIn conclusion, we report the CT findings in two patients with 2019-nCoV pneumonia. Chest CT showed multiple regions of patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacities. Furthermore, the lesions were typically distributed along the bronchial bundles or subpleural regions in both lungs. In patients with a history of fever or contact with the epidemic area combined with the CT findings described here, timely detection of the novel coronavirus DNA is required to ensure early diagnosis, isolation, and treatment."}

As a result, this case was prone to misdiagnosis in the clinic. However, 2019-nCoV pneumonia was diagnosed in case 2 based on the characteristic CT findings, which were further confirmed using positive results of the timely rRT-PCR analysis.\nBoth patients reported here showed multiple areas of patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacities in both lungs, with most of the lesions distributed along the bronchial bundles or in the subpleural areas, particularly in the lower lobes. Neither patient showed pleural effusion or lymphadenopathy. In the SARS outbreak in 2003, infected patients exhibited rapid progression of lung lesions, with both lungs showing diffuse infiltration within a short period and producing “white lungs” and mediastinal emphysema (1112). In contrast, these lung lesions are relatively mild and are easily misdiagnosed as bronchopneumonia or any common viral infection. In addition, no obvious fibrosis was found in these cases, which may be related to the short course and mild intensity of the disease in these patients; this speculation remains to be confirmed using subsequent large-scale studies.\nIn conclusion, we report the CT findings in two patients with 2019-nCoV pneumonia. Chest CT showed multiple regions of patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacities. Furthermore, the lesions were typically distributed along the bronchial bundles or subpleural regions in both lungs. In patients with a history of fever or contact with the epidemic area combined with the CT findings described here, timely detection of the novel coronavirus DNA is required to ensure early diagnosis, isolation, and treatment."}
