A Rare Case of Organizing Pneumonia

Abstract

Here we present a rare case of organizing pneumonia secondary to <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> infection. Due to uncertainty of the diagnosis, this patient underwent protracted hospital stay, many radiological scans, and all three forms of lung biopsy (bronchial, per cutaneous and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)). Due to repeated negative culture and biopsy findings, his treatment was delayed for several days.
