  • Snapshot
    • A 43-year-old woman presents to a hospital in Singapore with a 6-day history of fever, headache, myalgias, and a 2-day history of a nonproductive cough. She recently traveled to China on business where she recalls having a sick contact while taking the train. Her temperature is 100.5°F (38.1°C). On physical exam, the patient is lethargic. Chest radiograph shows diffuse interstitial infiltrates. Tests for Legionella, Mycoplasma, and Chlamydia and immunofluorescence for influenza A and B, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus were negative. Laboratory testing is significant for lymphopenia and an elevated lactate dehydrogenase.
