Case Study 3: An 18-year-old man with no significant past medical history presented to the emergency department with a history of cough and shortness of breath with exertion, along with subjective fevers, chills, and rigors. He was noted to be hypoxic (low oxygen saturation level) on examination. The chest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrates in a diffuse butterfly pattern involving both central lung fields. The patient reported a history of IV drug use, with frequent sharing of needles. Case study presentation should include the following: 1. Case 2. Patient initials (Ex. 50-year-old man) 3. History of the present illness (Symptoms and may include the physical exam of the patient) 4. Chief Complaints (Ex. Morning stiffness in his joints for over a year) 5. Diagnosis and Causative agent 6. Pathophysiology 7. Treatment and Management 8. References
