Abstract
A 60-year-old black woman presented with nonproductive cough of 1-month duration. She had also experienced rapidly progressive dyspnea for 1 week and one bout of vomiting a day before presentation. Her symptoms had failed to improve with a course of amoxicillin-clavulanate. Her medical history was significant for diabetes mellitus and liver transplant 19 years earlier for hepatitis C cirrhosis, for which she was receiving tacrolimus and mycophenolate. She was a current smoker with 40 pack-years of smoking history.
