Sylvia Gaylord works as a legal aide on the 12th floor of a tall glass-and-steel monument to modern architectural technology. On clear days, the views are spectacular. From her cubicle, Sylvia’s eye catches the edge of the beautiful blue-and-white skyscraper as she reaches for her inhaler. This is the third attack since she returned from lunch 4 hours ago—her asthma is really bad today. But if she leaves work early again, her boss will write her up for it.

A lethargic 22-month old black female was presented by her mother to the emergency room at 2:15am on a Sunday. The child had a history of a runny nose, hoarse cough and low-grade fever (-99F) for the past 48 hours. The mother was concerned about the forced and noisy breathing of the child. The pediatrician examined the child and found cloudy eyes and mild inflammation of the ears, but no overt signs of bacterial infection (no significant changes in the eardrums). The throat of the child was red and coated with mucus. The larynx was swollen and raw. The physician performed a rapid Strep test and found it was negative. Throat swabs were taken for culture.
