Micro case 17 • A 50 year old resident of Phoenix, Arizona, has a cough that has persisted for 1 month. On physical examination, his temperature is 38.1C. A chest radiograph shows 3.5-cm opacity with central cavitation in the right apical region. An open lung biopsy is performed to exclude cancer.
Micro case 18 • For the past 3 weeks, a 52 year old man has had a chronic cough with a low-grade fever. On physical examination, his temperature is 37.4C. A chest radiograph shows bilateral, scattered, 0.3- to 2-cm nodules in the upper lobes and hilaradenopathy. A fine needle aspirate of one of the nodules shows inflammation with mononuclear cells and macrophages.
Micro case 19 • For the past 3 days, a 68 year old man has had a fever and a cough productive of yellow sputum. On physical examination, there is dullness to percussion at the left lung base. A chest radiograph shows areas of consolidation in the left lower lobe. Despite antibiotic therapy, the course of the disease is complicated by abscess formation, and he dies.
Micro case 20 • A 42 year old HIV positive man has had a fever and cough for the past month. On physical examination, his temperature is 37.5. On auscultation of the chest, decreased breath sounds are heard over the right posterior lung. A chest radiograph shows a large area of consolidation with a central air-fluid level involving the right middle lobe. A transbronchial biopsy specimen contains gram-positive filamentous organisms that are weakly acid fast.
