Misleading chest radiography in a patient with SARS.
We report a patient who suffered from severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (SARS) presented with an uncommon chest X-ray finding, lobar pneumonia, which was never reported. We hope that this case report can help clinicians to become more aware of various initial radiological findings of SARS.
