With the Flu season upon us the Utopian College of Emergency for Medicine (UCEM) would like to remind all fondling members of their duty to take a full and appropriate medical history. This includes a past sexual history…
27-year-old lady presented with persistent cough, sputum and fever for the preceding six months. Inspite of trials with antibiotics and anti-tuberculosis treatment for the preceeding four months, her symptoms did not improve.
A subsequent chest radiograph showed non-homogeneous collapse-consolidation of right upper lobe.
Videobronchoscopy revealed an inverted bag like structure in right upper lobe bronchus and rigid bronchoscopic removal with biopsy forceps confirmed the presence of a condom.
Detailed retrospective history also confirmed accidental inhalation of the condom during fellatio.

Glad to see you're always thinking ahead Fitchy…
An interesting an unique case, I might ask is it usual to wait six mouths for an xray when symptoms are persisting?
Point taken, but our waiting rooms are kinda busy this time of year…we are way behind you guys and have only just implemented the four month rule
Safe sex*
