51-Year-Old Man With Eye Pain and a Cough
A 51-year-old man with a medical history of mild osteoarthritis went to the emergency department for the evaluation of worsening, bilateral injected, painful eyes of 1-month duration associated with the development of a nonproductive cough and nonexertional chest pain for 1 week. He had been treated with topical moxifloxacin for conjunctivitis without improvement 3 weeks before presentation. Subsequently, he developed a nonproductive cough, right ear pain with diminished hearing, chest pain that worsened with inspiration, and posttussive, nonbloody emesis.
