A Young Man With Hemoptysis and Cavitary Lung Lesions. CASE PRESENTATION: A man in his 20s presented with 2 months of mild fatigue and intermittent hemoptysis of less than a tablespoon per episode. He was previously healthy and was on no medications. He denied fevers, night sweats, weight loss, wheezing, dyspnea, musculoskeletal symptoms, and rashes. He had emigrated from a South American country to the United States 3 years earlier. He worked as a groundskeeper but had no exposures to animals, mold, or dusts. He reported rare prior cigarette smoking with no history of alcohol or drug use. He was unsure whether he had received the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine.
