Abstract

A 26-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of productive cough and a 1-year history of effort-related dyspnea. His medical history was significant for hay fever and exertion-triggered asthma. He was not taking medicines regularly but was using inhaled salbutamol as needed. He was an ex-smoker, with a previous history of 2-pack years.
