Abstract

A 56-year-old man with a medical history of diabetes, no prior lung disease, and no tobacco exposure presented with exhaustion and a nonproductive cough 7 days after working in an old farmhouse in Vermont. His friend who worked with him exhibited similar symptoms. He was treated as an outpatient with doxycycline; however, his clinical condition deteriorated and necessitated hospitalization and subsequent intubation.
