This Double Take video from the New England Journal of Medicine presents the case
of a 42-year-old woman presenting with cough, fatigue, fevers, and shortness of
breath. Based on a Clinical Problem-Solving article published in the Journal, the
video explores the differential diagnosis for shortness of breath and highlights
the importance of maintaining a broad differential when first-line therapies fail
to improve a patient’s condition.
