Abstract
A 67-year-old man who currently smoked (45 pack-years) was referred to the emergency department for fever and exacerbation of cough over the last week. The current illness began 1 month earlier with nonproductive cough and exertional dyspnea. He did not report anorexia, hemoptysis, or weight loss. Outpatient treatment with cefditoren and moxifloxacin did not improve his symptoms. No remarkable medical history was reported. The patient was admitted for further evaluation.
