Dear Dr Burt,
I am referring Mr. George Kent, a 30-year-old teacher, who presented today. He has been complaining of a productive cough for 3 days. The cough, which developed after swimming in a cold lake, was accompanied by thick and rusty sputum.
On examination, he looked very ill. He had a high temperature and his respiratory rate was 30 times per minute. He had difficulty in breathing that was confirmed by his use of respiratory accessory muscles and flaring of his nostrils. His other vital signs were normal. I assessed him as having severe respiratory failure associated with an infection.
I would appreciate your assessment and further treatment of this patient’s condition.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Fransiska Hutahaean
General Practitioner
