A 53-year-old man was evaluated in an urgent care clinic of this hospital for
3 months of cough. Nine months later, the patient began to have cough that was
intermittently productive of yellow sputum. The cough developed shortly after he
had returned from travel to Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Antitussive
medications did not provide symptom relief. Three years before this cough
developed, three discrete episodes of upper respiratory tractinfection and sinusitis
had occurred, for which courses of amoxicillin–clavulanic acid, trimethoprim–
sulfamethoxazole, and azithromycin had been prescribed. During the current
episode, the cough waxed and waned in intensity, with no clear relation to other
symptomsor the time of day.
During his instance in the Middle East; the weather was colder than he had
expected and he felt chills. During the trip, the cough worsened with more frequent
and copious productionof yellow-green sputum and associated coryza, pharyngitis,
frontal sinus “heaviness,” malaise, and fatigue such that he had to miss work after
he returned home. He called his cardiologist and was advised to present to an
urgent care clinic of this hospital for evaluation.A review of systems was negative
for fever, anorexia, unintentional weight loss, night sweats, dyspnea, hemoptysis,
chest pressure or discomfort, pleuritic pain, wheezing, light- headedness,
palpitations, syncope, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, myalgia, arthralgia,
lymphadenopathy, and pruritus. The patient had had multiple contacts with
nonspecific illnesses while he had been traveling both 3 months and 10 days
before the current evaluation.
The patient was notable for a sinus rhythm, an end systolic volume of 44ml
and an end diastolic volume of 110ml, a maximum left ventricular wall thickness
of 16 mm, systolic anterior motion of the mitral-valve chordae with trace mitral
regurgitation, and a resting left ventricular outflow gradient of 16 mm Hg; these
findings had not changed from a study obtained 9 months earlier. Testing for
antibodies to paragonimus was negative, but testing positive for antibodies to a
Parasitic Infections of Southeast Asia was positive, and the treatment was 21-day
course of doxycycline. Also he presented marked peripheral eosinophilia with a
3800 cells per cubic millimeter. (This is generally defined as mild with aneosinophil
count of 500 to 1500 per cubic millimeter marked 1501 to 5000 per cubic millimeter,
or massive >5000 per cubic millimeter who can lead to reactive cardiomiopathy). In
the posteroanterior chest radiograph, he presented a slightly enlarged heart.
