Abstract:
A previously healthy 29-year-old male presented to the emergency department with pleuritic chest pain, nonproductive cough, and dyspnea. He was treated empirically for community acquired pneumonia and discharged to home. Two days later, the patient presented with respiratory distress along with neutrophilia, thrombocytopenia, elevated liver function tests, and hemoconcentration. Radiographs of his chest showed bilateral lung infiltrates and pleural effusions. He was admitted to the hospital and developed cardiopulmonary failure and died the following day. Serologic tests for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome confirmed the diagnosis.
