Résumé

A 51-year-old woman with no comorbidities presented with a 3-month history of cough with mucopurulent expectoration and intermittent fever. Over the past 1 month, she complained of streaky hemoptysis and gave history of expectorating "whitish pellets" in the sputum on two occasions. She had developed progressive breathlessness for a week prior to presentation to our hospital. There was no history of chest pain or loss of weight or appetite. She was a nonsmoker and did not consume alcohol. She had received multiple courses of antibiotics at another center with no relief of symptoms.
