T30 2897-2981 Sentence denotes CT imaging showed small ill-defined ground-glass opacities in both lower lung lobes.
T31 2982-3134 Sentence denotes The lesion in the left lower lobe was located in the subpleural region while the one in the right lower lobe was distributed along the bundles (Fig. 2).
T32 3135-3190 Sentence denotes Neither pleural effusion nor lymphadenopathy was found.
T33 3192-3202 Sentence denotes DISCUSSION
T34 3203-3274 Sentence denotes Cases of 2019-nCoV pneumonia are caused by a novel type of coronavirus.
T35 3275-3464 Sentence denotes 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).
T36 3465-3554 Sentence denotes Most early patients had a history of exposure to the South China Seafood Market in Wuhan.

T38 3682-3763 Sentence denotes Transmission of 2019-nCoV is mainly via droplets but can also be through contact.
T39 3764-3911 Sentence denotes People are generally susceptible to the 2019-nCoV infection and the elderly patients or those with underlying diseases are more seriously affected.
T40 3912-4053 Sentence denotes 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.
T41 4054-4105 Sentence denotes The main symptom is fever with a temperature > 38℃.
T42 4106-4235 Sentence denotes Other symptoms include fatigue, dry cough, and diarrhea, and acute respiratory distress syndrome can occur in severe cases (910).
T43 4236-4344 Sentence denotes The two patients described here were admitted to our hospital because of fever and relatively mild symptoms.
T44 4345-4436 Sentence denotes According to the laboratory examination results, both patients had normal leukocyte counts.
T45 4437-4551 Sentence denotes However, case 1 had a reduced percentage of lymphocytes and elevated CRP levels, consistent with viral infections.
T46 4552-4703 Sentence denotes 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.
T47 4704-4767 Sentence denotes As a result, this case was prone to misdiagnosis in the clinic.
T48 4768-4945 Sentence denotes 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.
T49 4946-5187 Sentence denotes Both 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.
T50 5188-5247 Sentence denotes Neither patient showed pleural effusion or lymphadenopathy.
T51 5248-5469 Sentence denotes 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).
T52 5470-5600 Sentence denotes In contrast, these lung lesions are relatively mild and are easily misdiagnosed as bronchopneumonia or any common viral infection.
T53 5601-5832 Sentence denotes 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.
T54 5833-5915 Sentence denotes In conclusion, we report the CT findings in two patients with 2019-nCoV pneumonia.
T55 5916-6000 Sentence denotes Chest CT showed multiple regions of patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacities.

T57 6118-6344 Sentence denotes 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.
