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?
A) Streptococcal pneumonia
B) Mycoplasma pneumonia
C) Acute bronchitis
D) Legionnaires disease. Answer: B) Mycoplasma pneumonia

induration would be considered posi- tive for this patient?
A) 3 mm B) 5 mm C) 10 mm D) 15 mm. Answer: C) 10 mm
