Abstract

METHODS A 26-year-old male presented with a 3-week history of dyspnea on exertion, chest tightness and productive cough with excretion of copious purulent secretions. The patient did not report fever, weight loss or haemoptysis. He had no history of asthma or atopy. Physical examination revealed a respiratory rate of 19/min and SpO2 of 95% on room air, polyphonic wheezing, crackles in middle lung zones and significant digital clubbing.
