He was a smoker (5–10 pack-years) and consumed an undisclosed amount of alcohol over weekends for some years. At presentation, he was tachypneic (20 bpm) and pyrexial (37.7°C) but alert and oriented. He exhibited cerebellar signs, including multidirectional gaze-evoked nystagmus, dysarthria, and truncal and appendicular ataxia. His examination was otherwise normal.
