Case Report (n=1)
Case report describing the clinical and imaging presentation of a patient with prolonged fever and hemoptysis.
May prompt targeted workup in fever with hemoptysis; leaves open etiology and generalizability.
A 58-year-old woman was hospitalized for evaluation of prolonged fever and hemoptysis. She reported having had intermittent fevers, a productive cough, shortness of breath, and hemoptysis during the previous eight months, which had been evaluated at another hospital. Computed tomography of the chest revealed peripheral infiltrates in the upper lobe of the left lung and lingula and a calcified left hilar opacity, with additional, small mediastinal lymph nodes.
