A 33-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital for an unresolving pneumonia, who initially presented with dyspnea. Initially antibiotic therapy was started under the suspicion of community-acquired pneumonia, however, her respiratory status worsened at the previous hospital. Computed tomography (CT) on presentation showed peripheral ground glass opacities in both sides of the upper lobe. Also despite additional prednisolone therapy, her respiratory status worsened.

After the triple drug therapy, her respiratory status improved.
