Rib pain in a 23-year-old woman with severe asthma

M C Zacharisen et al. Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2001 Jan.

Abstract

This case illustrates the importance of considering a wide range of diagnoses in patients complaining of rib, flank, and pleuritic pain. Further, additional evaluation is warranted when "pneumonia" does not respond to conventional treatment.
