Respiratory infection? #59285 09/17/2021 3:16 AM

Wondering if anyone here experienced or heard about a respiratory infection after the Mt Whitney hike. It's been about a month and a half since my summit. My lungs are pretty lit up on CT. Went through many tests including a lung wash, but couldn't find the pathogen involved. Only thing left is a biopsy.

Not seeking medical advice, but wondering if anyone experienced this before.

In these days of Covid, that might be the first thing to think of rather than the usual Southwest stuff like Valley Fever. Either can cause abnormal see CXR or chest CT. The source may not have been on the day of Whitney.
