Abstract

Case Presentation: In July 2020, a previously healthy 6-year-old boy was evaluated in a pulmonary clinic in New York after two episodes of pneumonia in the previous 3 months. For each episode, the patient presented with cough, fever, and hemoptysis, all of which resolved with antibiotic therapy and supportive care. The patient never experienced dyspnea during these episodes of pneumonia. He was asymptomatic at the current visit. The patient had no history of travel, sick contacts, asthma, or bleeding disorders.
