Case in brief

A 58-year-old woman presented with fever, abdominal pain, and a nonproductive cough. The report describes a diagnostic evaluation using focused history, physical examination, and testing, with the differential diagnosis refined as her clinical course evolved. The abstract does not identify the final diagnosis, specific findings, or how the illness resolved.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

The abstract provides too little clinical detail to support a case-specific diagnostic takeaway.
