cough that is productive of small amounts of sputum and a runny nose. He does not
take any medications, denies any allergies, and has no significant medical history.
Physical examination reveals a low-grade temperature of 99.9 degrees Fahrenheit,
respirations of 16/min, a pulse of 90 beats per minute, and diffuse fine crackles in the
base of the lungs. A chest radiograph (x-ray) shows diffuse infiltrates on the lower lobe

diagnosis?
A) Streptococcal pneumonia
B) Mycoplasma pneumonia

If the site has erythema but no induration, result would be negative. Color is not
important.

Beta-blockers should be avoided in patients with a history of emphysema. Studies have
shown evidence of a reduction in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1),
increased airway hyperresponsiveness, and inhibition of bronchodilator response to
beta agonists in patients receiving non-selective beta- blockers and high doses of
cardioselective beta-blockers.
