A 57-year-old, male, Japanese patient with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidaemia was admitted to our hospital with cough, fever and malaise of 3 days’ duration. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA was positive at admission on real-time (RT) PCR using nasopharyngeal swabs (SRL Inc). Chest X-rays and CT showed multiple, peripheral, ground-glass opacities in the bilateral lungs. The oxygen saturation of the peripheral arteries ranged from 91% to 94% without oxygen therapy.
