Clinical Case Scenario

Mia is a 21-year-old female who presents to the clinic with complaints of a chronic cough. She just moved to the area to attend a local university and moved into the basement of a house she rents near campus. The person she is renting from has three cats. As soon as she moved in, she noticed a chronic, nonproductive cough associated with shortness of breath. She has never had these symptoms before that she can remember and denies any known medical or environmental allergies. She noticed her symptoms resolved when she left the apartment for a weekend trip. Auscultation of the lungs reveals scattered rhonchi and inspiratory wheezing in all lobes. The diagnosis of asthma was confirmed by in-office spirometry. She is currently taking no medications and has no known drug allergies.
