گزارش صبحگاهی (morning report) از سنت‌های قدیمی در آموزش پزشکی بوده و در طی آن، اطلاعات یک بیمار که اخیراً در بیمارستان بستری شده، توسط فراگیران به اعضای هیئت علمی و دیگر فراگیران ارائه شده و راجع به آن بیمار بحث می‌شود.

به سراغ یک بیمار از برنامهٔ خواندن گزارش‌های صبحگاهی مجلهٔ نیوانگلند برویم.

ما در این مجموعه، اطلاعات اصلی بیمار را ترجمه نمی‌کنیم که تمرینی هم باشد برای خواندن به زبان انگلیسی. البته اگر کلمهٔ دشواری در اطلاعات بیمار داشته باشد، توضیحش خواهیم داد.


Reason for presentation: cough

Part 1: The Patient’s Story

History of Present Illness

A 35-year-old man presented to the emergency department with cough and shortness of breath. The cough began 2 years prior; it was dry and intermittent.

Over the past year, he had become short of breath. He initially noticed it only on maximal exertion, but recently, he needed to use a slow walking pace for any distance longer than a few blocks. Since his symptoms began, he had received treatment with antibiotics multiple times for presumed bacterial pneumonia, but the symptoms persisted.

He lost 15 pounds over 2 years but had not changed his diet or levels of activity. He had no hemoptysis, fevers, chills, or chest pain. He sought emergency department evaluation because of increasing frequency of coughing episodes and inability to walk up a flight of stairs without feeling short of breath.

The patient moved from Mexico to Los Angeles, California, 9 years ago with his family. He has worked in the construction industry since moving to the United States. He does not smoke cigarettes. He does not drink alcohol or use any other drugs.

The data thus far define the problem as a chronic progressive cough and shortness of breath with associated unexplained weight loss in a person who immigrated from Mexico. We can refine the problem representation and generate a differential diagnosis by asking additional questions.
