Martha Chhangte

A 40 year old male patient came with complains of productive cough associated with shortness of breath since 3 weeks. He was afebrile and maintained oxygen saturation at room temperature. He was a known smoker and did not have history of any co-morbidity. On examination, bilateral basal crept was noted. On chest imaging, features were suggestive of infective pneumonia with bilateral pleural effusion associated with left ventriculomegaly. Sputum culture revealed infecting organism to be Raoultella planticola (R. planticola).
