2 History of Present Illness 8 year old African American female with a history of chronic cough for 2 years presents to the CHLA ED with fever (102.4), abdominal pain, and hemoptysis for 1day Hemoptysis First episode Brown/red tinged mucus

3 Pertinent History Chronic cough: Began 2 years prior to admission (PTA) Waxing and waning course Wet cough with associated chest congestion When productive, sputum was yellow/green Usually treated by PMD with antibiotics for bronchitis Occasional wheezing No respiratory distress or hospitalizations Diagnosed with asthma 3 months PTA Started on budesonide daily and albuterol as needed No improvement in symptoms

4 Pertinent History 3 weeks PTA patient diagnosed with Scarlet fever (fever, red eyes, sore throat, rash with subsequent desquamation, and + throat test ) Treated with Amoxicillin Review of systems: Rare snoring Sweats at night but does not soak the sheets No travel outside of the country No apnea or cyanosis No sinusitis or otitis media No fevers, body aches, or joint pain No hematuria No weight loss

5 Pertinent History Birth History Full term normal spontaneous vaginal delivery No complications Surgeries: none No known drug allergies Family History: No history of cardiopulmonary disease Social History: Lives with great-grandma(adopted mom), grandma, godmother, 5yo biological brother also adopted by this family, and an uncle No pets or smokers Uncle was incarcerated 2 years ago for a few months
