The patient's chest X-ray at the time of admission showed diffuse bilateral pulmonary opacities consistent with multifocal pneumonia or pulmonary oedema ( Figure 1 ). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was sent and came back positive after 48 hours. The patient was diagnosed with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), so was treated with inhaled pulmonary vasodilators, neuromuscular blockade and prone-position ventilation.
