Chest. 2022 Jan;161(1):e43-e49. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2021.08.069.

Abstract

A 33-year-old man was admitted with a 4-week history of intermittent, right-sided chest pain. Two weeks before the incident, he had completed a 10-day course of levofloxacin for a presumed right-sided pneumonia without much improvement. He denied any dyspnea, cough, sputum production, hemoptysis, night sweats, or weight loss. He was an active smoker with a 20-pack-year smoking history and 1-year history of vaping nicotine.
