Abstract

A 22-year-old woman who was 36 weeks pregnant presented with a 4-day history of cough, hemoptysis, and exertional dyspnea. She had no fever, night sweats, or weight loss. The review of system was otherwise negative. Her medical history was notable for a spontaneous first-trimester abortion a year ago. At that time, she had a transvaginal ultrasound scan that showed a gestational sac with no fetal movement. A post-abortion ultrasound scan revealed no residual fetal parts.
