Abstract
An 18-year-old man with no noted medical history from Northern India presented with history of fever for 15 days and nocturnal cough for 10 days. He denied breathlessness or wheeze. There was no medical history of asthma. He denied any current sinus-related symptoms, pruritis, skin rashes, lesions, or ulcers, abdominal pain, dysphagia, vomiting or diarrhea, numbness or tingling, joint pain, or food allergy. There was no recent exposure to a patient with TB or history of substance misuse. The patient had sought medical care 7 days before presentation for the same symptoms, and after a chest radiograph was obtained, the patient was started on an antitubercular regimen.
