A 65-year-old previously healthy woman presented to her primary care physician with a 6-week history of increasing dyspnea, accompanied by a dry cough, fatigue, malaise, and poor appetite. Before her initial presentation and the onset of the aforementioned symptoms, she had attributed her illness to an upper respiratory tract infection. She also reported a 1-week history of passing dark urine and had been treated empirically 2 weeks previously with a 3-day course of oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for presumptive urinary tract infection.
