Pulmonary Talcosis in an Immunocompromised Patient by Thanh-Phuong Nguyen, Sowmya Nanjappa, Manjunath Muddaraju, John N. Greene

“…His symptoms were initially thought to be due to an infectious etiology due to his malignancy, immunocompromised state, and radiographic findings until high-resolution computerized tomographic (HRCT) findings showed a diffuse pulmonary fibrosis picture that prompted further questioning and a more thorough history inquiry on his exposure to causative agents of interstitial lung disease. …”
