A 51-year-old patient with a history of travel to Peru, including a visit to the Rainbow Mountains at an altitude of 5,200 m, who, upon returning to Brazil, presented with flu-like symptoms and bloody sputum. Computed tomography scans of the chest in the axial and coronal planes (left and right panels, respectively), showing thickening of the bronchial walls and interlobular pulmonary septa, together with ground-glass opacities are observed, predominantly superior and perihilar, in both lungs, suggestive of high-altitude pulmonary edema.
