  • Snapshot
    • A 14-year-old boy with past medical history of cystic fibrosis presents to his pulmonologist for a new cough. He reports that for the past few weeks, he has been coughing up brown sputum more and experiencing low-grade fevers. A recent chest radiograph showed a left lower lobe consolidation, and he completed a course of antibiotics without improvement. He also recently underwent testing for tuberculosis, which was all negative. On physical exam, there is wheezing and crackles bilaterally. A chest computed tomography (CT) shows central bronchiectasis and a skin test for Aspergillus causes a wheal 5 mm in diameter to form on his skin.
