Background information
We report about our 54 years old patient admitted to the hospital
complaining of respiratory insufficiency, sever caught and fever for the past four
days, most likely due to a case of pneumonia.
Problems and Solutions
He presented at the ER with a harsh, productive cought for the past four day
prior being seen by a physician. He also developed a fever, shaking and malaise
along with the cought. One day ago he developed pain in his right chest that
intensifies with inspiration.
Medical Hystory
The patient medical history is notable for a orthotopic heart transplantation due to a
dilatative cardiomyopathy in 2006. He successfully recovered from the
transplantation and ten years later he presented at the ER with respiratory
insufficiency.
Family history
The patients mother also suffered of a cardiomyopathy approximately at the same
age as the patient, and the father was diagnosed with pulmonary cancer most likely
due to the smoking and alcoholic history.
