Doona you think this chest X-ray looks ‘normal’?
There's nothing better than snuggling under a warm quilt, but this case is anything but comforting
Take a gander at this X-ray: does it look ‘normal’ to you? This patient’s doctors thought so at first.
The 43-year-old originally presented with a three-month history of malaise, fatigue and dyspnoea, which were attributed to a lower respiratory tract infection.
But four weeks later, the non-smoker returned with worsening breathlessness, according to BMJ Case Reports.
It was now apparent when walking between the rooms of his home, prompting his GP to refer him for an urgent respiratory clinic review.
