Abstract
An 86-year-old Singaporean Malay woman with no known respiratory condition presented with 2 weeks of progressively worsening dyspnea, cough, and pleuritic chest pain. There was a positive sick contact and recent long-distance travel to Norway. However, further history revealed her symptoms presented even prior to her overseas trip. Red flag symptoms of hemoptysis, loss of appetite/weight, and risk factors such as smoking/occupational exposure, and personal and familial history of cancer were absent.
