Fever and Shortness of Breath

History

A 62-year-old man presents to the emergency department complaining of shortness of breath. Four days prior to presentation he felt unwell and complained of muscle aches and headache. He started having rigors and his wife measured his temperature as 39°C. They thought that he had influenza. However his symptoms worsened, and by the day of presentation he was complaining of a dry cough and marked shortness of breath. He had also become confused, and started having diarrhea. There is no significant past medical history. He is a non-smoker and drinks 20 units of alcohol a week. Ten days prior to admission he had returned from a holiday in Spain.
