AbstractAn 82-year-old woman with a remote tracheostomy due to vocal cord paralysis and long-standing erosive, seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) well controlled with methotrexate sought treatment at the ED with 1 month of dyspnea, chest tightness, and cough productive of blood-tinged sputum. She had been treated unsuccessfully as an outpatient with multiple courses of antibiotics. She did not smoke or drink alcohol and had no recent travel outside the country. Given concern for airway compromise, she was admitted to the hospital.Copyright © 2024 American College of Chest Physicians. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
