Curious marks on an Iraqi man with respiratory complaints.

Abstract:

:A 26-year-old suspected Iraqi insurgent is brought to a Troop Medical Clinic in Baghdad, Iraq, with curious marks on his body. On questioning, he describes productive cough, subjective fever, drenching night sweats, and unintentional weight loss. This case shows a condition with which Western physicians are generally unfamiliar but one which quite possibly could be encountered by the deploying provider.
