A 28-year-old student is seen in the school health clinic with
complaints of a hacking 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
of the right lung. The total white blood cell count is 10,500/uL.
What is the most likely diagnosis?

B) Mycoplasma pneumonia
C) Acute bronchitis
D) Legionnaires disease Correct Answer>>B
Mycoplasma pneumonia

Mycoplasma pneumonia is the organism most com- monly seen
in children and young adults. It is easily spread from droplets,
from sneezing and coughing, in close proximity. Diagnosis is
based on symptoms and x-ray results of infiltrates in lower lobes.
A 39-year-old migrant worker presents to the clinic 2.5 days after
a purified protein derivative (PPD) test. What minimum size of
induration would be considered posi- tive for this patient?
A) 3 mm B) 5 mm C) 10 mm D) 15 mm Correct Answer>>C 10
mm
The PPD is administered on the volar aspect of the lower arm and
read 48 hours after the test is given. The PPD result must have
induration and measure 10 mm or greater to be positive in a low-
risk patient. Induration (firmness with palpation) must be present.
If the site has erythema but no induration, result would be
negative. Color is not important.
