Abstract
A 43-year-old Puerto Rican man with a kidney transplant presented to the ED with 2 weeks of flu-like symptoms, nausea, and vomiting. He had plasma exchange therapy 2 months before for acute transplant rejection and has been tolerating a heightened immunosuppressive regimen. CT scans characterized opacities as possibly early tree-in-bud opacities (Fig 1A). Patient remained stable throughout hospital stay with an unremarkable workup and was discharged with doxycycline for nonspecific pneumonia.
