SANZ-NAVARRO, Pablo José; SAEZ-PENA, María; CRUZ-MAESO, Susana e RODRIGUEZ-CONTRERAS, José. A patient with... cough. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.4, pp.350-353. Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160409.
Chronic cough is a common reason for consultation in primary care (prevalence approximately 3.3% to 10.0%). We report a case of a 61-year-old woman with a three-month history of cough. The most accurate diagnosis is pulmonary fibrosis in the context of rheumatoid arthritis versus desquamative interstitial pneumonia secondary to aripiprazole. This case study serves as a reflection on the importance of a good history in primary care. Moreover, it is relevant to correctly use complementary tests. It is especially important to make a good syndromic diagnosis and evaluate the context of the patient in front of us.
