BACKGROUND A 65-year-old woman received radiation therapy in her left axilla after she underwent resection for a stage II breast cancer. Four weeks later, she had a fever, dyspnea, a productive cough, and night sweats. Hint Analysis of the samples collected during bronchioalveolar lavage did not reveal any organisms. Findings from transbronchial biopsy indicated alveolar septal thickening and desquamation of alveolar lining cells due to round cell infiltration.
