CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old Caribbean man presented to the ED with dyspnea that had progressed over the previous week with associated cough and high fevers. Four days prior to admission, his primary care physician noted oral thrush and obtained a chest radiograph that revealed a right middle lobe infiltrate. He was prescribed levofloxacin and clotrimazole. Despite therapy, his symptoms progressed. He had an 11 pack-year smoking history and hypertension but had been in good health. He denied recent travel, alcohol or illicit drug use, or high-risk sexual behaviors, and his only previous medicine was amlodipine. Institutional review board approval was not obtained for this case report, as all patient data are anonymous and obtained during routine patient care activities.
