Cаse Study 2: An 85-yeаr-оld mаle is admitted tо the emergency rоom of a New York City hospital suffering from breathing difficulties and coughing. He had a high fever, cough, and chest pain. He had presented to his local physician 3 days previously complaining of fever, headache, malaise, and vague respiratory symptoms. A year ago he moved into a long-term care facility after his wife died and he has been suffering from type two diabetes for the last thirty years. They collected sputum for culture and sensitivity. A gram stain indicated the presence of many white blood cells and pleomorphic gram-negative coccobacilli. An additional urine specimen was then collected and sent to a reference laboratory to confirm the diagnosis.
