    • A 65-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes presented to the emergency room for fevers, fatigue, and a productive cough over the past few days. His temperature is 102.1°F (38.9°C) and mean arterial pressure is 63 mmHg. Further evaluation demonstrates a leukocytosis, elevated procalcitonin, and a radiographic focal consolidation in his left lower lobe. He denies any temperature intolerance, weight changes, any nail and skin abnormalities, diarrhea, or constipation. He was admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment of sepsis secondary to pneumonia. On admission, labs for thyroid function were ordered and found to be abnormal.
