Nichole Graves, MD
Since the article has no abstract, the first paragraph is shown.
A 47-year-old Caucasian woman came to the emergency department at Baylor University Medical Center complaining of a 3-week history of sinus congestion and drainage with a sore throat. Her primary care physician had prescribed a 5-day course of azithromycin 250 mg. Since she did not improve, the doctor prescribed moxifloxacin and steroids. Symptoms improved temporarily but then returned. She sought care in the emergency department after two episodes of coughing with hemoptysis. She also complained of generalized malaise, myalgias, headache, nausea, anorexia, and left chest wall tenderness. The patient denied exposure to tuberculosis or sick contacts.
