Marjorie Bateman et al. Chest. 2020 Dec.

Abstract

A 54-year-old man presented with 6 months' history of dry cough and dyspnea on exertion. He also reported intermittent joint pain and orthopnea. He denied fevers, chills, and rashes. His medical history was significant for rheumatoid arthritis, for which he was taking 20 mg of prednisone daily. He had not been receiving adalimumab or methotrexate for several months. He never smoked and drank alcohol occasionally. Family history was significant for rheumatoid arthritis.
