Tips to write a band A OET writing Letter
How to write the Introduction of the OET Letter?
- Date & Address
The position of the date can be either above the address or below the address. It is normal to leave a blank line space between the date and address. (But don’t write both above and below.)
Date (this position is acceptable)
Name of person or Doctor
Address
Address
Date (this position is also acceptable)
- In formal letters, it is normal for the date at the start to be written in full form e.g. 3rd February 2018 rather than 02/02/18. [Numbers and slashes is fine within the body of the letter]
- The test materials are specifically written for the test date each month so the date to use is also the same date as the test. The test date will also be the date of discharge, most recent consultation etc. within the case notes.
- If you make a mistake in the test and write a different date or use numbers not words, DO NOT PANIC, this cannot fail you. The assessors are looking for your understanding of letter writing convention in English. It is much more important that a date is on the letter than that the date you used is correct.
- Salutation
Use shorter for recipient’s name as full name is clearly stated above address. This can be followed by a comma.
Dear Ms. Robert,
- Subject
The subject is a place where information such as the name & D.O.B of the patient can be included. This can save you words in the body of the letter, but be careful not include too much information here. Use proper punctuation.

Dear Dr Parker
Iam writing this letter to inform you regarding a female patient who works as a medical recptionist and has recently experienced some un usual neurological symptoms.
She was in her usual state of health and was working on her computer office when she started having decreased vision and blurring 3 days ago. This was followed by a severe bi frontal headache rated 5/7 in severity and was unlike the past migraine attacks that she had had previously. Her first migraine attack was in the year 1997 and was treated with vicodin 25 which was later increased to 50 mg on a repeat episode one year later.
Furthermore not only was the patient unable to move her right eye and any attempts made were very painful, but also her husband noticed it was bulging. It is also noteworthy to mention that she had an upper respiratory tract infection a week ago. Even though she doesnt smoke , she drinks occasionally and has a past history of depression managed medically.
When examined, the patient was vitally stable and Bmi 31. There was however, only right eye ptosis noted while the rest of the findings were unremarkable.
In light of the above mentioned scenario described i would like for you to further assess the patient and investigate with radiological imaging if needed and advise treatment as required.

Dear Dr Parker,
I am writing to refer my patient who needs your urgent neurological assessment.
This patient presented to my clinic today complaining about blurred vision for 3 days with tenderness in both eyes but was more noted in right (RT) eye. She was not able to move her RT eye and her husband noted that RT eye was bulging out. She also complained about bifrontal headaches since 5-7 days. According to my assessment, vitals were normal but Rt eye showed ptosis without protusion. Rest of the neurological exam including speech was normal and possiblity of eye infection was ruled out. Due to no possible neurologic cause being identified, a plan to urgently consult a specialist neurologist for further assessment was disussed with her.
She is currently on ibuprofen-vicodin to manage her migraine headache and reported no recent acute attacks. Similar headaches were reported in her mother and her grandmother died due to stroke. Her depression is fairly managed with zoloft.
Your expert evaluation will be highly appreciated. Please do all necessary tests and assessments as needed urgently.

Re: Mrs Karen Smith, DOB 10/06/1975
I am writing to refer to you Mrs Smith, a 45-year-old medical receptionist who is suffering from right eye ptosis and will require your urgent neurological assessment and further management.
Mrs Smith presented to me today with complaints of having blurred and decreased vision with concomitant severe bifrontal headache for the past 3 days. Her vision was doubled and painful whilst moving, mainly in her right eye which was notably bulging. She also reported to have suffered from an upper respiratory tract infection a week ago. Up on examinations, I noted right eye ptosis with neither protrusion nor signs of infection. Her other vital signs were normal except for the BMI which is 31.
In terms of her past medical history, she’s known to have suffered from multiple migraine attacks in the past which was successfully managed by Vicodin 20 mg and OTC ibuprofen. In 2010 Mrs Smith had suffered from depression for which she took Zoloft 20mg. It should be noted that she has a family history of migraine.

Re: Mrs. Rebecca Smith, 35/F
I wish to refer this patient presenting with severe bifrontal headaches and associated visual disturbances for your urgent evaluation and management.
Mrs. Smith accompanied her husband with the above symptoms which began 3 days ago. The problems began as visual blurring which started during her work as Medical Receptionist requiring long exposure to Computer screen. This was followed by severe headaches, unlike any she has had before, photopsia and painful eye movements (R>L). She admits to have recovered from an upper respiratory infection a week back. Her husband adds to have noticed her eyes to be bulged out. Examination of the patient was essentially normal apart from right eye ptosis and BMI 31.
In her past she has suffered from typical migraine, diagnosed first in 1997 and treated adequately on ibuprofen and vicodin 50 mg. Now the attacks are said to be rare. Additionally, she suffered from depression in 2010 and was managed on Zoloft 20 mg.
In view of the above, I consider it appropriate that she be assessed and managed further under your expert care.

She presented with decreased vision and blurred vision for 3 days associated with severe bifrontal headache for 5 days. She complained of painful right eye movement and has double vision in both eyes. Also there was bulging of right eye. It was preceded by URTI a week ago.

On examination, she is obese with the BMI of 31. Her vital signs are stable. There is right eye ptosis but no eye protrusion and no signs of eye infection. Other systemic examination including neurological assessments are unremarkable.
Mrs. X is a medical receptionist who is a mother of two children. She is an occasional alcoholic and a non-smoker. She has no known allergies. Her family history includes mother who has migraine and grandmother who passed away due to stroke.
In this case, my impression is right eye ptosis for investigation and to rule out brain lesion.

RE: Mrs. XYZ
DOB: xx/xx/zzzz
I am writing this letter on behalf of Mrs. XYZ to request an urgent neurological assessment for her. She presented to me today with complaints of blurred vision for last 3 days and severe bifrontal headache for the last 5 days. She has been having a double vision of both eyes and painful eye movements more pronounced on the right. She denied any fever, vomiting, or neck stiffness. Even though her husband noticed a bulging of the right eyeball, my clinical examination showed that it was ptosis of the right eyelid rather than the protrusion. The rest of the neurological examination and other systems were within normal limits. There were no signs of eye infection.
In 1997, Mrs. XYZ was diagnosed as a case of migraine with aura as she presented with classical symptoms, and was treated with Vocidin 20 mg along with ibuprofen. Her symptoms persisted and hence the dose of vicodin was increased to 50 mg. This brought resolution of symptoms and she was stable till 2010 when there were episodes of low mood. She was given a diagnosis of depression and treated with Zoloft 20 mg along with previous medications. Mrs. XYZ is working as a receptionist and lives with her husband and 2 children. She is an occasional alcoholic and non-smoker and there is no significant family history.
I am hereby requesting an urgent neurological assessment for Mrs. XYZ as I am worried that a delay in care might cause worsening of her condition and result in a permanent vision loss. Please don’t hesitate to contact me, in case you have any further queries regarding Mrs. XYZ’s medical history

Re: Mrs Anna Jones DOB 28.11.1990
I am referring Mrs Anna Jones to you for urgent neurological assessment. She is a medical receptionist with recent worsening headache and associated severe ocular features.
Mrs Jones initially had history of migraine of 20 years duration which had been controlled on zoloft and ibuprofen with some improvement before latest increase in severity of symptoms observed during last visit.
She initially presented to the practice on 10/01/1997 with headache, vomiting with aura preceded by photophobia and phonophobia. On account of these symptoms, vicodin 20 mg was prescribed based on presumptive diagnosis of migraine.
On subsequent visits (after 1 and 3 years of initial visit), Mrs Jones’ initial symptom was noticed to have improved on the current medication. However, she had features consistent with depression which then informed the addition Zoloft to her medication.
During the last visit 11/7/2020, Mrs Jones had bifrontal headache with painful eye movement worse on the right and double vision as well as bulging of the right eye. There was preceding history of upper respiratory tract infection.
Physical examination was normal though there was ptosis without eye protrusion. It is noteworthy that Mrs Jones’ mother also had migraine and grandmother died of stroke.
Mrs Jones requires your professional expertise to assess her current complaint, to rule out sinister causes, and to devise the next line of management.
Kindly contact me for further information.

Thank you for seeing Mr. (…) a medical receptionist who is suffering from recurrent headache. I am writing you a referral letter for a complete neurological assessment.
She presented to me on 10/01/1997 reporting 30 min of headache accompanied by vomiting 4-5 times a day, in addition to 2 day history of aura with a 3-5 min of duration, precede by photophobia and phonophobia, my provisional diagnosis was migraine,so I prescribed vicodin 20 mg. After 2 year, she continued presenting migraine attacks, therefor I increased vicodin, added ibuprofen, and after that, the symptom start to improve. Back them her mood was found to be low , I managed to begin with Zoloft 20 mg in order to target a possible depression.
Important to notice, that on examinations were found diplopia,there was a ptosis on her RT eye which was not able to move. The intent to move her eyes elicit a painful bilateral headache different for the primary one. the rest of neurological exam was irrelevant. Notice that her mother had migraine and her grandmother die of strocke.

Re: Sally McConville (Ms), 38 years old
I would like to refer Ms McConville under your kind supervision for further evaluation and management with his ongoing difficulties with acute of exacerbation of asthma and possible pneumonia.
Ms McConville was reasonably well 4 days back with her significant past medical history of asthma and hypertension. Then she suddenly developed an episode of suspected viral upper respiratory tract infection. In the meanwhile, all the supportive treatment was provided with supervision.
However, Ms McConville’s condition subsequently more deteriorated and she developed fever, shortness of breathing, productive cough and effort intolerance. Her treatment was revised according to the protocol.
Despite of all the standard medications, her health condition progressively worsened as evidenced by unstable vital statistics and increasing breathing workload. It is to be noted that she is neither smoker nor allergic to medications.
With above all the features, I am referring Ms McConville under your professional assistance for future management and evaluation.

Dear Dr,
Re: Ms Sally McConville, 38 year old
I am writing to urgently refer Ms Sally for her worsening asthma exacerbation and to rule out the possibility of pneumonia. Ms Sally requires your immediate evaluation and management.
On today’s review, Ms Sally’s shortness of breath has increased despite taking oral steroids, antibiotics, and asthma medications (Ventolin and Fluticasone inhaler). On examination, she was showing signs of distress with widespread wheeze and bibasal crepitations on chest auscultation. She was given Salbutamol nebulization which afforded no relief of her symptoms.
Ms Sally initially presented 3 days ago with symptoms consistent with infective asthma exacerbation and was advised to start Ventolin inhaler 2 puffs every 4 hours, and to continue her preventer medications (Fluticasone 250mcg 2 puffs daily). She was then reviewed yesterday and was noted to have persistent symptoms. Hence, she was started on Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day and Prednisolone 25mg once daily for 3 days.
I would be grateful if you could provide acute asthma management with further investigation of a lower respiratory tract infection. Should you have further queries please contact me.

Re: Ms Sally McConville(aged 38)
Thank you for admitting Ms Sally McConville, a 38-year old asthmatic patient with an episode of respiratory tract infection with respiratory distress.
Ms McConville came on 10th of September with a 2-day history of upper respiratory tract infection, including rhinitis, cough with yellow sputum and a slight fever. She was wheezy but without shortness of breath. The asthma was well controlled. On the examination RR was 12, BP was normal, body temperature was 37.5°C. I prescribed Ventolin 2 puffs 4-hrly and to continue the preventer if needed(Fluticasone 250 2 puffs daily).
The patient returned on 12th of September with the worsening of the symptoms: shortness of breath and wheezing increased, linked with a minimal exertion. She still had yellow sputum, subfebrile temperature. Her body temperature was 38.0°, HR 95, BP 120/80, widespread wheeze without crepitations. I suspected infective exacerbation of asthma and prescribed Amoxicillin 500 mg 3x daily, prednisolone 25 mg daily 3 days and to continue the previous treatment.
Ms Sally McConville returned the next morning with increased shortness of breath despite the treatment. On the examination I revealed short of breath at rest, RR 25, pulse 112, BP 100/65, temp 37.7°C, bibasal crepitations and widespread wheeze. Ventolin Nebules 5 mg was prescribed, but there were no improvement during 15-20 minutes after the treatment.
MS McConville has a history of asthma and hypertension. Earlier she had cholecystectomy, ankle fracture and depression. She doesn’t smoke, no allergies.
The patient takes ramipril, paroxetine, fluticasone 250 mg 2 puffs daily and ventolin 2 puffs if required.

Re : Ms Sally McConville, aged 38
Thank you for seeing Ms McConville, whose clinical manifestations are suggestive of pneumonia. Your urgent assessment and further management would be highly valued.
On today’s review, Ms McConville presented at my clinic with progressive shortness of breathing although she takes the previously described prednisolone and antibiotics regularly . On examination, respiratory distress signs were revealed and her chest auscultation showed widespread wheeze and bilateral basal crepitations. Thus, Ventolin nebulizer, 5 mg was commenced. Fifteen minutes later no improvement was noticed.
Three days later, Ms McConville has experienced symptoms and signs concomitant with
viral upper respiratory tract infection, for which she Ventolin 2 puffs every 4 hours was commenced. Yesterday, she attended my practice with a one-day history of increasing shortness of breath with minimal exertion. Upon assessment, apart from tempareture reading of 38, mildly increased work of breathing and widespread wheeze, no other abnormalities were detected. She was advised to continue on the same dose of Ventolin. Additionally, Amoxicillin, 500 mg and Prednisolone, 25 mg three times daily were prescribed.
Ms McConville has history of bronchial asthma and hypertension and she takes the appropriate medications for them.
In view of the above-mentioned data, i would appreciate your attention to his condition. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear XXX,
Re: Sally McConville, aged 38
I am writing to request acute management for Ms McConville, an asthmatic patient, who is in respiratory distress. I am concerned that she is experiencing symptoms consistent with pneumonia.
Ms McConville first presented on 10/9/14 complaining of a 2-day history of symptoms indicative of a viral respiratory tract infection. Examinations were unremarkable other than nasal congestion, red throat and scattered wheezes. However, her condition deteriorated in the following days as she was experiencing increased dyspnea and wheezing on minimal exertion.
This morning, she was feverish and unwell with worsening shortness of breath despite treatment with prednisolone and antibiotics. Chest examination revealed widespread wheeze with bibasal crepitations. There was increased work of breathing with accessory muscle use. Her respiratory rate (25) and pulse (112) were elevated, and blood pressure had dropped (100/65). Ventolin Nebules 5mg was initiated. Despite treatment, there was still no improvement after 15 minutes.
Ms McConville has asthma, hypertension and depression for which she is currently taking ramipril, fluoxetine, flucatisone and Ventolin. She has no known allergies.
I would be most grateful if you could assess Ms McConville’s condition to confirm the preliminary diagnosis and provide her with ongoing care.

Thank you for urgently seeing Ms McConville, a 38-year-old administrator who I believe is suffering from acute exacerbation of asthma with possible pneumonia.
She initially presented to my practice on 10/9/2014 with upper respiratory tract symptoms for 2 days. However, at that time she was not breathless. She was diagnosed with viral upper respiratory tract infection with infective exacerbation of asthma and commenced on Ventolin 2 puffs 4 hourly and to continue her preventer medication.
She returned two days later due to worsening symptoms. She started to become more breathless with shortness of breath on minimal exertion. Furthermore, her work of breathing has increased. I started her on Amoxicillin 500mg and prednisolone thrice daily on top of her Ventolin and Fluticasone.
Today, she reported no improvement of symptoms despite prednisolone and antibiotics. Upon examination, her respiratory rate is 25 with breathlessness at rest and increased work of breathing and bibasal crepitations.
She is a known asthmatic and her medications include Fluticasone 250- 2 puffs daily and Salbutamol 2 puffs if required. Moreover, she does not smoke and has no known allergies.

On examination, she had mild fever, mildly elevated pulse rate and rednes in throat. On chest examination she had mildly increased work of breathing and widespread wheezing. Therefore, she was prescribed amoxicilling and prednisolone and advised to continue 4-hrly ventolin and preventer.

On examination, she had mild fever, elevated respiratory rate and pulse rate along with low blood pressure. This time, she also had shortness of breath at rest and her chest examination revealed widespread wheezing and bibasal crepitations. Her symptoms and signs are suggestive of acute asthma with possible pneumonia. There was no improvement even after Ventolin nebulizer.

Re: Ms Sally McConville, DOB:
I am writing to refer Ms McConville, a 38 years old female administrator who is in respiratory distress and likely to have pneumonia for admission to the emergency department for acute management and investigations.
Ms McConville has past medical history of asthma, hypertension and depression for which she is taking ramipril, paroxetine, fluticasone daily and ventoline as required. She is a non smoker and does not have any allergies.

She was advised to continue ventolin four-hourly and fluticasone for viral upper respiartory tract infection and asthma exacerbation. She came next day with increased shortness of breath on minimal exertion and fever. She was also prescribed amoxicillin and prednisolone.

During the next two days, her condition starts to deteriorate with developing shortness of breath, widespread wheezing and raising of her body temperature. At this point I suspect as a possible cause, infective exacerbation of asthma.

Despite recommended treatment, she came to my office again (13/09/2014) with a complaint of difficulty with breathing and further increased shortness of breath, stated at this occasion about feeling extremely unwell. On the assessment, she had obvious signs of respiratory distress with increased work of breathing, widespread wheezing and developed bibasilar crackles on this occasion.

Ms. McConville is being referred to your care for her acute asthma with possible pneumonia.
Three days ago, Ms McConville presented with 2 day onset of runny nose, productive cough, wheezing and fevers. The physical examination was remarkable for red throat, nasal congestion and scattered chest wheezing. Given that patient has history of Asthma, I prescribed Ventolin 2 puffs given every 4 hours, added to her current asthmatic regimen of Fluticasone 250mg 2 puffs daily.
Ms McConville continues to be symptomatic and started having increasing shortness of breath, necessitating administration of Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day and Prednisolone 25mg daily for 3 days. Despite added treatment, she remains in respiratory distress. I am considering to begin her on another medication: Ventolin Nebules (Salbutamol) 5mg.
Please investigate and provide acute management of Ms McConville non-improving respiratory distress.

Dear Doctor,
RE: Ms Sally McConville, age 38.
I am writing to urgently refer Ms McConville, a 38year old administrator who has presented with an acute exacerbation of her asthma symptoms causing her respiratory distress.
She initially presented 3 days ago with a 2 day history of a slight fever , productive cough and wheeze. On examination, she had scattered wheezes but not increased work of breathing. A diagnosis of a viral URTI was made thereafter treated with Ventolin 2 puffs four hourly and also advised to continue with her preventer inhaler.
Ms McConville was then seen again 2 days after with escalating symptoms of increased SOB and persistent wheezing over 24 hours. Amoxicillin 500mg tablets three times daily and oral prednisolone 25mg daily for 3 days were instituted in addition to her preventer and reliever inhalers.
Today her symptoms have continued to evolve in that she has a wide spread wheeze with bibasal crepitations and a slightly low BP ( 100/65mmhg) with no improvement in spite of treatment with a salbutamol nebulizer.
Her past medical history includes asthma that is well controlled with fluticasone 250mg – 2puffs daily, hypertension and depression for which she takes ramipril 2.5mg daily and paroxetine 20mg daily.
Given her escalation of symptoms due to probable pneumonia with a failure to respond to the prescribed treatment, she will need ED admission for further assessment and management of her condition.

I am writing to refer Ms McConville, who requires your immediate medical attention to her asthma exacerbation, acute respiratory distress and possible pneumonia following a viral infection.
Ms McConcille initially presented three days ago with a 2-day history of runny nose, productive cough and fever. Scattered wheeze was noticed but no shortness of breath or crepitations. She was advised to take Ventolin 2 puffs every four hour and continue her regular fluticasone 250 (2 puffs daily) which usually put her asthma under well control.
However, Ms McConcille developed shortness of breath and increasing wheezing after two days. Infective exacerbation of asthma was suspected, for which amoxicillin 500mg and prednisolone 25mg three times a day were prescribed in addition to Ventolin and fluticasone inhalers.
This morning, Ms McConcille came back again with no improvement in symptoms. She felt extremely short of breath, feverish and unwell. On chest examination, widespread wheeze and bibasal crepitatons were found. Her pulse rate was 112 beats per minute and respiratory rate 25 times per minute. Her blood pressure was 100/65 mmHg and temperature 37.7 degree. Ventolin nebuliser 5mg was given immediately but failed to relieve her distress.

Dear Admitting Officer
I am writing to refer to you this 38-year-old female, Ms Sally McConville, whose symptoms are suggestive of acute asthma with possible pneumonia, for emergency management and further investigations.
She is single working as an administrator. She is a non-smoker with a history of asthma for which she is taking fluticasone 250 daily and ventolin as required. Her other medications are ramipril for hypertension and paroxetine for depression. She is not allergic to anything.
On 10/09/14, Ms McConville presented with symptoms of acute viral upper respiratory tract infection for which she was advised to take ventolin 4 puffs every 4 hour and continue preventer with a follow-up after two days. Her symptoms did not subside despite the reliever inhaler on the next appointment. On examination, a widespread wheeze and mildly increased work of breathing were appreciated. Therefore she was prescribed amoxicillin 500 mg and prednisolone 25 mg with a review after one day.
This morning, Ms McConville came with fever, worsening of breathing, bilateral crepitations in her lungs on examination which were not improved with nebulized salbutamol. Hence, an initial diagnosis of acute asthma with possible pneumonia was made and I strongly believe emergency management and investigations would benefit her condition.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any queries.

Dear Dr,
RE: Sally McConville
I am writing to refer Ms. McConville who has acute exacerbation of asthma most likely due to pneumonia for further assessment and management.
Ms. McConville initially presented on 10th of April with symptoms of viral respiratory infection and mild asthmatic attack. There are no signs of respiratory distress and her vitals are stable. She visited my clinic again two days later as her symptoms still not improving. I prescribed for her a course of prednisolone and amoxicillin. However, despite that, her conditions were deteriorating. Today, she is tachypneic, tachycardic, feverish and worsening signs of lungs functions. I have given her nebulised Salbutamol 5mg, but have no effect on her.
In terms of her past medical history, she has hypertension, asthma and depression. Her medications as follow, ramipril, fluticasone, salbutamol and paroxetine. She do not smoke the cigarretes and no known drug allergies.
In my opinion, she require admission in hospital for appropriate treatment and closed observation.

She was on ramipril 2.5mg daily, paroxetine 20mg daily, fluticasone 250 2 puff daily and salbutamol 2 puff as needed. On 10/9/14 she consulted due to 2 days of runny nose, cough with yellow sputum, and nasal congestion, with a physical examination finding of chest scattered wheeze. At this moment, an Infective exacerbation of asthma was established as the principal diagnosis with abulatory management of 2 puff of salbutamol 4-hrly plus recomendations.
On 12/09/14 Ms. McConville reconsulted because of increasing shot of breath and wheeze associated with ocational feverish sensation and yellow sputum. The vital signs were normal but at the examination widespread wheeze was found with increased work of breathing, due to worsening of symptoms amoxicillin 500mg 3x daily and prednisolone 25mg daily was prescribed for 3 days.
Despite adding the prednisolone and antibiotics, McConville came again on 13/09/14 due to increasing of short of breath and feverish sensation. On the examination, is noticed a short of breath at rest with accesory muscle use and increased work of breathing with a respiratory rate of 25.
I request you to confirm or rule out a pneumonic process vs. an acute asthma exacervation.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Patient Ms. Sally McConville is refered to Emergency Department because it is suspect that she is suffering a pneumonia or asthma reagudization. She is a 38 year old administrator who has asthma and takes fluticasone and salbutamol daily. The patient came to the office four days ago because she started with different symptoms as, runny nose and cough productive with yellow sputum. She felt slight fever and her breath was normal. She told us that her asthma was well controlled. I prescribed more ventolin and I sent her to home. Two days later, she returned to the office because she worst her symptoms. She started with short of breathness and minimal exertion. I prescribed her amoxicilin 500mg and prednisolone 25mg.
She came this morning because she felt really worst. At the examination, she presented fever, tachycardia (pulse 95), tachypnea (respiratory rate 16) and normal blood pressure. Use of the accessory musculature was present, as well as, bibasal crepitations. She hasn’t improved to the ventolin nebules 5mg now. Therefore, seeing the statuts of the patient, who has an important respiratory distress, and her worsening through the days and her lack of response to the different treatments, I consider properly to see the patient in Emergency Department and rule out an important pneumonia.
Thank you for your atention.

This is a letter of referral for the respected patient.
She is a non-smoker known to have asthma, hypertension and depression. Her medications include ramipril, paroxetine, fluticasone and Ventolin. She does not have any known allergies.
She first visited the hospital on 10/9/2014 with signs and symptoms suggesting an upper viral respiratory tract infection and an infective exacerbation of asthma. The physical exam confirmed these findings. Accordingly, she was treated with Ventolin.
Her second visit was on 12/9/2014 due to increasing shortness of breath and wheezing over the last 24 hours that were associated with episodes of mild fever. On exam, she was febrile, tachypneic and had widespread wheezes. She had an infective exacerbation of asthma which was treated with amoxicillin, prednisolone and Ventolin.
On the next day, she presented for fever and dyspnea despite being on her treatment. On exam, she used her accessory muscles to breath, had dyspnea and tachypnea and widespread wheezing with bibasal crepitations. Moreover, she was tachycardic and febrile. She was diagnosed with acute asthma and possible pneumonia. As such, she was treated with Ventolin nebules but didn’t improve and thus we decided to refer her to your respected department.

I am writing to refer Ms.McConville, who presented with symptoms and signs of respiratory distress. She requires further and emergent evaluation.
On her current examination, shortness of breath at rest, increased respiratory rate (25), and obvious accessory muscle use are observed. Her Chest exam revealed widespread wheezing and bibasal crepitations. Her vital signs are BP 100/65, pulse 112, temperature 37,7.
On her medical history, she has had hypertension, asthma, and depression, for which she has been taking ramipril 2,5 mg daily, fluticasone 250 2 puffs daily, Ventolin 2 puffs daily, and paroxetine 20 mg daily, respectively.

Dear Admitting Officer,
RE: Ms Sally McConville, aged 38
I am writing you to refer Ms McConville, who is actually suffering from an acute exacerbation of asthma caused most probably caused by a pneumonia.
Her asthma is usually well-controlled with medications (fluticasone 250 mg -2 puff daily and salbutamol – 2 puff only if required). She was also diagnosed with hypertension and depression, so she takes ramipril (2,5 mg daily) and paroxetine (20 mg daily). She denies both any sorts of allergies and smoking.
She has first presented to my attention on 10/9/14 experiencing nasal congestion, cough productive of yellow sputum and slight fever. At the examination, she had red throat, normal ears and chest scattered wheeze, but no crepitations or shortness of breath. In the next two days her symptoms worsened. She developed increased work of breathing, widespread wheeze and her temperature raised intermittently. In addition to salbutamol 2 puff every 4 hours and preventer, she was prescribed both amoxicillin 500 mg (3 times per day) and prednisolone 25 mg (3 times per day).
Today, despite the added therapy, she has presented with shortness of breath at rest (25 respiratory acts per minute), fever (temperature 37.7), widespread wheeze and bibasal crepitations. I administered her salbutamol 5 mg without improving her condition.
She is experiencing respiratory distress at the moment and I think it might be due to a new developing pneumonia. I send her to the Emergency Department for acute management and further investigations.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further details.

RE: Miss Sally McConville, age 38
I am writing this letter in regard to Ms. SallyMcConville.
She was first seen on 10/9/14 with a 2- day history of runny nose, cough productive of yellow sputum, slight fever of 37.5 and wheezing but no shortness of breath. Her past history is postive for asthma which is well controlled by a preventer dose of fluticasone 250mg – 2 puffs daily. On physical examination her respiratory rate was 12 and there was nasal congestion, throat erythema without any accessory muscle use. A diagnosis of viral URTI with infective asthma exacerbation was made and she was treated with Ventolin 2 puffs taken 4 hourly and was discharged with a medical certificate for work.
Ms. Sally was seen in the hospital again on 12/9/14 with increased shortness of breath,wheezing , temperature of 38, and on examination showed red throat, mildly increased work of breathing and widespread wheezing. It was assumed that her symtoms of infective asthma exacerbation were getting worse. She was treated with Amoxicillin 500mg 3x daily, prednisone 25mg daily for 3 days and continued use of Ventolin every 4 hours and the preventer medication.
Her symptoms worsened and she was seen again on 13/9/14 with shortness of breath, respiratory rate of 25, obvious accessory muscle use and increased work of breathing with bibasilar crepitations and widespread wheezing on examination. She was treated with salmbutamol 5mg without further improvement.
I have referred her to your emergency department as she is in requirement of urgent care and further investigation. I suspect the patient has developed an acute pneumonia from the infection, however further investigation are required for confirmation and immediae treatment. Should you have any concerns or questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear [Recipient Name],
I’m writing to refer Ms Sally McConville, a 38-year-old non-smoking woman with a past history of asthma, hypertension and depression, to you for management of acute asthma and suspicious pneumonia and further investigation. She had been treated with Ramipril, paroxetine fluticasone daily and Ventolin (Salbuterol) if clinically indicated. She has no allergies.
She presented to our emergency room with acute exacerbation of asthma following two-day upper respiratory tract viral infection history. After one-day treatment of 2 puffs of Ventolin once every four hours, her dyspnea still worsened and she also got fever to 38 cecius degree.
Despite treatment of 500 mg of Amoxicillin for three times daily, her respiratory rate rose to 25 times per minute and her pulse rose to 112 per minute with obvious accessory muscle use. Physical examination showed bibasilar crepitation and pneumonia is highly suspected.
I would appreciate it if you could take over her care for management of asthma combined probable pneumonia and conduct further investigation. Please do not hesitate to contact me if any additional information is needed. Thanks.

Dear Admittinig Officer,
Re : Ms Sally McConville
Thank you for seeing this 38 year-old woman who presented
with viral URTI and exacerbation of asthma symptoms.
I suspect that Ms Conville is suffering from pneumonia
as well as worsened asthmatic attack, and needs to be
seen at your department for acute management and
further assessment.
She first presented to my clinic on 10/09/2014 with
two day history of viral URTI. Patient mentioned that
her asthma has been well controlled with using her
preventor(fluticasone 250 – 2 puffs daily) but not this time.
On her examination at that time, her respiratory rate was 12,
her Blood pressure was 120/80, pulse was 82.
She didn’t feel any increased work of breathing.
I could hear some scattered wheezing but no crepitus.
She was started on Ventolin 2 puffs 4 times every hour
and I advised her to continue the preventor.
She came back today 12/09/2014 because of the increased
work of breathing and wheezing over 24 hours.
On her examination for today, her condition has worsened
with increased shortness of breath and wheezing for last
24 hours and had mild fever(38’C), respiratory rate 16,
blood pressure 120/80.
I noticed that she has mildly increased work of breathing
and widespread wheezing but still no crepitus.
Due to her worsened asthma symtoms, I prescribed her
amoxicillin 500mg 3 times daily, prednisolone 25mg daily
for 3 days, with continuation of her previous medications.
Few hours later, this morning 10:30 AM, She was started
on Ventolin Nebules(salbutamol) 5mg due to much worsened
her condition. Before I treated her, her respiratory rate was
25, pulse was 112, and her blood pressure was 100/65.
I could hear widespread wheezing and bibasal crepitation
and increased using of accessory muscles to breath.
There was no improvement even after 15 minutes of
this treatement, It would be appreciated if you could assess
and manage her urgently.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me

Ms McConville on 13/9/14, presented with worsening shortness of breath and feeling unwell. Upon examination, an increased work of breathing, use of accessory muscles, widespread wheezes, and bibasal crepitations were found. Ventolin nebules were used without any improvement as she still continues presenting respiratory distress.
Please note, she has a history of 2 admissions complaining of similar symptoms. The first episode was on 10/9/2014, she presented with a runny nose and a productive cough with yellow sputum, but no shortness of breath, nor use of accessory muscle. During this encounter, the examination and vital signs were normal. A diagnosis of a viral upper respiratory tract infection and an asthma exacerbation were made, and she was treated with ventolin. The second episode, was 2 days later, complaining of increasing shortness of breath on minimal exertion, accompanied with minimal yellow sputum. Upon examination her throat was red, and a mild increase of breathing and wheezing were evidenced. Also, she had fever and tachypnea. She was treated with amoxicillin, prednisolone, and Ventolin.
Ms McConville suffered from asthma which is treated with fluticasone and ventolin if required.
It could be greatly appreciated if you could treat her current condition and further confirm her diagnosis of pneumonia

Re: Sally McConville(Ms), age 38
Dear admitting officer,
I am writing this letter to ask you to evaluate and manage my patient, Ms. McConville. She came to my office on 10/9/14 with flu-like symptoms. Her past history include asthma, hypertension, and depression. I assumed her having a mild viral upper respiratory tract infection, with infective exacerbation of asthma. She was treated with ventolin and fluticasone and was followed-up in 2 days.
Unfortunataly, on the follow-up, her condition got worse and she became febrile with body temperature of 38’C, and her lung sound had widespread wheeze with no crepitations. That is when she was prescribed with amoxicillin 500mg 3x daily and oral prednisolone 25mg daily for 3 days.
Today, her condition got worse that she still has fever and her lung sound has widespread wheeze with bibasal crepitations.
Because of the worrisome findings of her lung sound and her consistent fever, I am afraid that her condition is getting worse to pneumonia. So I am referring her to your emergency department.
Could you please evaluate and manage this patient, and possibly admit her to your hospital?
Thank you.

Re: Sally McConville
Ms Sally McConville, a-38-year-old man, whose signs and symptoms are indicative of severe pneumonia, requires urgent management and further assessment.
Ms McConville, who had a medical history of asthyma which was well controlled before, initially presented with mild viral infection on 10/09/2014 . The body temperature was 37.5 and the remaning phisical examination was normal. Hence continuation of fluticason and additional ventolin puff were recommended. Two days after he complained about breathlessness, wheezing and yellow sputum. Amoxicillin(500 mg 3x daily) and prednisolone (25 mg daily) was added on treatment due the assessment of infective exacerbation of asthma.
Regarding his medical history, except asthyma, he has hypertension and depression which he takes ramipril and paroxetine.
As of today Ms Conville presented with worsening in general condition as well as shortness of breath despite medications. On physical examination tachycardia (112/min), tachypnea (25/min), widespread wheezing and bibasal crepitations were noted. No improvement has observed with ventolin nebules. He has still severe respiratuary distress. As a result he needs your urgent evaluation and treatment.
