Abstract
A 55 year old Caucasian female smoker, with past medical history significant for hypertension and peptic ulcer disease presented to the emergency department with a four day complaint of malaise, fever, and myalgias. She was seen by her primary care physician who started her on amoxicillin clavulanate for possible strep throat infection. Her family reported a productive cough with green sputum, pleuritic chest pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea for one week. They also felt she was getting more confused over the past several hours.
