A 28-year-old man went to urgent care complaining of chest pain, fever, and night sweats. He reported a cough that occasionally produced a bit of phlegm and had been lingering for a month or more. He said he had lost enough weight over the past few weeks that his pants were noticeably loose. He denied changing his diet over this period of time or having GI symptoms.
He immigrated from China a year ago to work in his brother’s market, and this was the first time he had sought any medical care since his arrival.
Is it brucellosis? Streptococcus pneumonia pnuemoniae? Tuberculosis? Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)?
