A Man With Malaise, Myalgia, and Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease

Abstract

A 45-year-old man sought treatment at the ED during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic with a month-long history of fatigue, cough, myalgia, and hand stiffness. He did not report dyspnea. He had no past medical history and previously was fit and active, working as a farmer. He was a lifelong nonsmoker and had no family history of lung disease.
