34 yo female reported 3 wks of cough with thick sputum. Cult | Figure 1
34 yo female reported 3 wks of cough with thick sputum. Culture done and results shown. 3 days ago developed dyspnea, sharp chest pain with deep inhalations (pt suspects from chronic coughing and pulled a muscle). Chest x-ray done today and Xopenex breathing treatment done in urgent care setting. Results of sputum culture done last week showed haemophilus parainfluenza. Does the chest x-ray look like pneumonia to you? Does haemophilus influenza typically cause these symptoms in otherwise healthy adults?
