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?
A) Streptococcal pneumonia
B) Mycoplasma pneumonia
C) Acute bronchitis
D) Legionnaires disease - CORRECT ANSWER B) Mycoplasma pneumonia

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