Abstract

A 31-year-old female presented to the emergency department with a 5-day history of feeling generally unwell, with a sore throat, breathlessness and a productive cough with expectoration of clear mucoid sputum. Her exercise tolerance, previously unlimited, had declined to approximately 90 m. She denied any pyrexia, rigors, haemoptysis or night sweats.<br />Can you diagnose this patient presenting to the emergency department with a short history of productive cough and breathlessness and a history of recurrent admission for chest infections? http://ow.ly/PoHQ30kmGPi
