Assessment and Plan
Assesment: This is a 63 year-old male with a history of h/o
biphenotypic ALL, now Day + 32 from allogeneic SCT, who presents with
hypoxia, one week of worsening SOB, and two days of productive cough.
Plan:
# Hypoxia: The patient developed acute onset of hypoxia accompanied by
fever and a one day cough with sputum production. Given that the
patient is about 1 month s/p allogenic SCT the differential is broad
and would include bacterial pneumonia, viral pneumonia (CMV, flu), and
opportunistic infections including fungal infections. Patient also has
a history of CMV infection, aspergillus and Leggionare's disease and is on
posaconazole. His CXR showed an opacification of the left basilar lobe
and also right upper lobe concerning for pneumonia as well as a small
loculated right pleural effusion. Also in the differential is
noninfectious causes such as PE, CHF, or MI. US were negative for clot
and his first set of CE were negative.
