Chest computed tomography (CT) scans of a 69-year-old man with severe psittacosis pneumonia. The initial CT scan (6 days after onset) shows diffuse consolidation of both lungs with bronchial inflation sign (A). CT scan (14 days after the onset) shows that the consolidation gradually decreased following targeted treatment, however it showed bilateral pleural effusion (B). On follow-up (21 days after the onset), the consolidation and pleural effusion gradually decreased following treatment (C), and it completely disappeared at 66 days after onset (D)
