  		Fig. 1B. —42-year-old man with severe acute respiratory syndrome. High-resolution CT (HRCT) scan obtained 6 hr after A shows focal ground-glass opacities in right upper lobe.

  		Fig. 1C. —42-year-old man with severe acute respiratory syndrome. Chest radiograph obtained 16 days after A shows poorly defined increased opacity in right upper lobe with associated superior displacement of minor fissure, denoting volume loss.

  		Fig. 1D. —42-year-old man with severe acute respiratory syndrome. HRCT scan obtained on same day as C shows mixed pattern that includes ground-glass opacities, bandlike areas of consolidation, and reticulation in right upper lobe. Note cephalad displacement of minor fissure (straight arrows) and anterior displacement of major fissure (curved arrow), consistent with volume loss.

  		Fig. 3B. —25–year-old man with severe acute respiratory syndrome. High-resolution CT scan obtained on same day as A shows ground-glass opacities, thickening of interlobular septa and intralobular lines in both lower lobes, and pneumomediastinum (arrows).

  		Fig. 4C. —48-year-old man with severe acute respiratory syndrome. HRCT scan obtained at level of lower lobe bronchi shows patchy bilateral ground-glass opacities with associated reticular pattern and mild traction bronchiectasis (arrow).

  		Fig. 5. —55-year-old man with severe acute respiratory syndrome. High-resolution CT scan obtained 18 days after hospital admission shows diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities, areas of consolidation predominately in subpleural and dependent lung regions, mild thickening of interlobular septa, and traction bronchiectasis (straight arrow). Also note pneumomediastinum (curved arrows) and small bilateral pleural effusions.
