A 40-year-old male patient admitted to our outpatient clinic with the complaints of chest and back pain. Two cavitary lesions were identified on the plain chest X-ray. The patient had leukocytosis, high C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels, and bilateral multiple cavitary lesions on computed tomography of the thorax, but the primary focus of infection could not be identified. A more-detailed and careful medical history was taken, which revealed a history of inflamed tooth extraction two weeks before. Since the patient improved rapidly with antibiotic treatment, he was diagnosed as septic pulmonary embolism. We decided to report this case to emphasize the importance of careful anamnesis in septic pulmonary embolism cases.
