Some the previous ground-glass opacities are reduced in both density and dimensions (subpleural and paravertebral on LUL), while other increased and new-onset ground-glass opacities are also detected (anterior segment of the LUL, lateral segment of the ML, apical segments of both RLL and LLL).  No pleural effusion no mediastinal adenopathies.
