You admit a patient to the Medicine service for pneumonia. The CXR is atypical for your typical admission, as there seem to be areas of ground glass in his lung tissue. The patient is grossly hypoxic, requiring 100% venti-mask using all his accessory muscles. The patient appears very thin and short of breath but otherwise well. You are most concerned with which of the following diagnoses?
A. HIV
B. Hypertensive emergency
C. Pasturella multocida
D. Plague
E. Pulmonary tuberculosis
