Case Study
Mr. X is a 28 years old Caucasian male who presented to the ED with a complaint of an
acute onset of dyspnea and chest pain which started 2 hours ago. He reports that he was feeling
fine until about 2 hours ago when he began to suddenly feel short of breath. He reports a cough
without any sputum production, but has been having chills and feeling nauseated. His past
medical history is positive for HIV infection. He is on antiretroviral therapy and is reportedly
compliant with his medications. He has no other medical problems and a negative past surgical
history. His family history is negative and he has smoked 1 pack of cigarettes daily for the last 3
years. He drinks 6 beers daily and does not believe this is excessive ETOH use.
