Of note, he presented for similar concerns yesterday and left AMA and was also previously admitted from 7/31 - 8/1 for chest pain, fentanyl overdose and an AKI. He was evaluated by cardiology during this time who felt his elevated troponin was due to global ischemia from polysubstance abuse. His chest pain was reproducible and felt to be secondary to costochondritis and chronic cough possibly from undiagnosed COPD. His CXR did show interstitial infiltrates that had been present since February 2020 so PJP, beta glucan and sputum cultures were obtained. Beta glucan was elevated and sputum cultures eventually grew H. Influenzae but PCP testing was negative. He was discharged in stable condition.    Further history unable to be obtained from patient as he is sleeping and rouses to provide one word responses but refuses to wake up and participate further.
