| description | No abstract available. Article truncated after 150 words. Clinical History: An 18-year-old woman with a questionable history of asthma (one physician source claimed no clear history of asthma, whereas another source claimed severe asthma) presented to the emergency room with worsening shortness of breath and cough. The patient’s past medical history was otherwise largely unremarkable. She did have complaints of recurrent rhinorrhea and allergies, for which sinus CT (Figure 1) had been performed.
Physical examination was remarkable for coarse, right-greater-than-left basal rales and coarse breath sounds. The patient’s oxygen saturation was 98% on room air. Her nasal septum appeared deviated. The patient’s vital signs were within normal limits and she was afebrile.
Laboratory evaluation showed a normal complete blood count, electrolyte panel, and liver function tests. A digital frontal chest image (Figure 2) obtained at presentation is shown, with a comparison chest radiograph from 5 months earlier also shown.
