Abstract
We read with interest the article on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recently published in Korean Journal of Radiology (1). In this letter, we share our experience on the evolution of computed tomography (CT) findings in COVID-19 pneumonia. An outbreak of COVID-19 that began in Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly (2-4). As of February 15, 2020, China has reported 68584 patients, including 1666 fatalities (5). Moreover, multiple countries reporting imported cases from China are rapidly increasing (6). The disease poses a grave threat to global public health, with the need for close attention.
