Case 4. 36-year-old Joseph has been suffering from multiple spells of violent coughing for 6 weeks. Prior to developing the chronic cough he had, what he describes as, a mild upper respiratory tract irritation, mild fever, runny nose and a cough that lasted about 3 days.

Joseph reports that, to the best of his knowledge he had all the required shots but he admits to not having any since becoming an adult.
