AB A  42-year-old  male  who  works  in  a  hog  confinement  area  presents  to  your  office  complaining  of  cough,  fever,  wheeze,  and  dyspnea.  He  and  some  other  workers  were  cleaning  the  confinement  area  with  high-pressure  hoses  (which  aerosolized  hog  waste),  and  they  all  developed  the  same  symptoms,  which  started  between  4  and  8  hours  after  work.  On  examination,  he  is  febrile  with  a  respiratory  rate  of  28.  He  is  able  to  talk  in  complete  sentences.  There  are  slight  crackles  when  you  auscultate  the  lungs.  His  chest  x-ray  is  normal.
