A higher number of lung zones involved and consolidation on the initial chest radiograph as well as a rapid progression of the radiological abnormalities were identified in patients requiring ICU admission and development of ARDS. Several reports describe the initial radiographic and CT findings in patients with H1N1 infection of both mild and severe cases including interstitial markings, nodules, ground-glass opacities (GGO), and consolidations with focal, multifocal, or diffuse distribution [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] . The presence on the initial chest radiograph of lung consolidation, multifocal, diffuse, and bilateral involvement (Fig. 2 ) was associated with a statistically higher risk of requiring ICU admission (p<0.001).	./cache/cord-006545-c12m75gq.txt	./txt/cord-006545-c12m75gq.txt
