  • A previously healthy 38 yo male presents to your
    ER with fever x 5 days, significant shortness of
    breath and cough without any significant coryza.
    He just returned from rural New Mexico where he
    joined a house building mission for poverty
    stricken families with his church group. The
    primary project was to renovate an old rural
    house which was super-infested with rodents.
    Vitals BP 72/30, a pulse of 45, RR 35, oxygen
    saturation of 84 on room air. An EKG shows
    sinus bradycardia. Echo shows depressed LVEF of
    25, but normal valvular function and normal
    chamber sizes. His CXR shown below. Rapid HIV is
    negative and is not known to be immunocompromised
    for any other reason. LFTs are normal, WBC 16k
    with left shift, hgb 12, plt 98k, creatinine 1.7.
    No PMHx, no medications, no drugs, no smoking or
    alcohol use. The MOST LIKELY DIAGNOSIS is

  • A 24 yo African American 30 weeks pregnant female
    presents to your urgent care with flu-like
    illness, with fever, cough, headache, rash and
    muscle aches for the past 5 days. Today, she also
    noticed red, swollen, somewhat painful nodules on
    her shins. Her temperature is 38.8C, BP 128/82,
    pulse 74, RR 26, O2 sats 88. She spent the last
    summer overland trucking in Southern California.
    Her route was Bakersfield, CA to Fresno, CA and
    back. She returned to Minnesota to set up
    primary obstetrics care and make sure the
    impending delivery of her child would go
    smoothly. She has never traveled outside the
    country, has never been incarcerated, and had a
    negative TB test last spring when she was working
    as a nurses aide at a nursing home. Her CXR
    showed a LUL infiltrate and chest CT showed a
    cavitary lesion at the superior segment of the
    LLL with diffuse reticulonodular lesions
    throughout both lungs. Histopathology from
    bronchial tissue bx was positive with What is
    the most appropriate treatment choice for this
    patient?

A. AZT 3TC nevirapine B. Ceftriaxone
azithromycin C. Amphotericin B D. Rifampin

  • A 45 yo homeless Brazilian male with diet
    controlled diabetes mellitus and HTN presents to
    your office with chronic history of a dry
    smokers cough, white mouth sores, and loosing
    all his teeth. He was not going to see a doctor
    until he started to develop nodules on his neck.
    He denies any fever, chills, night sweats,
    significant dyspnea. He emigrated from Brazil 15
    years ago and has lived in Minnesota ever since.
    His physical exam was significant for temperature
    of 97.8, his mouth was edentulous and showed
    white plaque like lesions diffusely over his
    tongue Scrapings from his tongue showed What
    would be the drug of choice for this condition?

A. Cefotaxime B. Itraconazole C. Ganciclovir D.
Rifampin ethambutol pyrazinamide
isoniazide E. Amphotericin B

  • An otherwise healthy 42-year-old Venezuelan
    farmer returned to your yearly medical brigade
    clinic to evaluate return of verrucous, keloidal
    lesions on his left leg. A year ago he had a
    similar but smaller(1 cm) lesion on his leg,
    which was surgically removed and treated with
    fluconazole due to presumed fungal infection. The
    surgical wound healed well, but 6 months later
    the lesions returned and have grown larger ever
    since. Other than the lesion on his leg, the
    physical examination were normal. Your biopsy
    results show deep granulomatous dermatitis with
    multinucleated giant cells. Intracellular and
    extracellular unstained fungal cells stained
    strongly with periodic acid-Schiff, Calcofluor
    white, and Grocott methenamine silver stains.
    The cells were spherical or lemon-shaped, chains
    of cells of uniform size, 6- to 12-µm in
    diameter, connected by thin tubelike isthmuses.

A. Coccidioides immitis B. Candida albicans C.
Blastomyces dermatitidis D. Lacazia

  • While working on a plastic surgery mission in
    Ghana, you encounter several young people with
    chronic ulcerative lesions, each patient at
    different stages of healing. An 18yo male shows
    you a lesion on his ankle. He claims that his
    lesion began as small laceration at the back of
    his heel incurred while walking along the shore
    of Lake Volta near his village. Over the next
    week, he developed a group of firm, nontender,
    nodules approximately 1-2 cm in diameter at the
    site of the wound. Over the next 1-2 months, the
    area became fluctuant, followed by the formation
    of a painless, undermined ulcer. After hearing
    about your mission, he traveled to see if you
    could help. As the medical physician of the
    group, you send a smear from the necrotic base of
    the lesion for histology. Acid fast bacilli are
    seen on Ziehl-Neelsen stain. On further
    exploration of the wound under anesthesia, you
    identify that the ulcer also affects the deep
    tissues of the lower leg and foot. You make a
    presumptive diagnosis and recommend which
    treatment?
  • BCG vaccine
  • Ethambutol clarithromycin
  • Rifampin
  • Surgical excision of infected tissue with skin
    graft closure

  • While working in Chiang Mai, Thailand, a 24yo
    female commercial sex worker with known advanced
    HIV/AIDS noted by a most recent CD4 count of 42
    and previous infection with Pneumocystis
    jiroveci. She presents to the ER with fever to
    39C, pronounced weight loss, cough, and facial
    skin papules with a central necrotic
    umbilication. Other physical exam findings
    include lymphadenopathy in inguinal, axillary,
    and cervical distribution hepatomsplenomegaly.
    Laboratory work up yields Hgb of 7.8, and
    leukopenia of 3.2, no peripheral blasts are seen.
    A bone marrow biopsy results are shown below.
    What is the best diagnosis and treatment course?
  • Amphotericin B IV for 2 weeks, followed by
    itraconazole, 400 mg/day orally in two divided
    doses for the next 10 weeks
  • Ethambutol clarithromycin
  • Lifelong Itraconazole as secondary prophylaxis
  • Fluconazole lifelong primary treatment and
    secondary prophylaxis
  • Both A and C

  • A 24yo male presents to the ER after sustaining a
    bite from a rat which has been seen living in the
    sewer system around the neighborhood and
    scavenging the garbage receptacles on his street.
    The animal bit him on the forearm and ran away.
    He has never been vaccinated against rabies in
    the past. He asks you whether he needs to worry
    about rabies. Which statement describes the most
    appropriate action to take?

  • A 29 yo otherwise healthy Sudanese male seen in a
    refugee clinic in Chad presents with chronic
    progressive lesions on his feet. About 5 months
    ago, he noticed a small painless nodule on the
    medial side of his left foot. Intermittently, he
    has noticed odorous, purulent drainage containing
    dark black granular specks draining from
    eruptions in his foot. His foot has become
    progressively more deformed with these lesions.
    You perform a surgical biopsy, which reveals a
    sinus full of purulent material containing
    discrete black grains. You make a presumptive
    diagnosis and recommend the following initial
    treatment as most appropriate first choice
  • Complete surgical amputation
  • Streptomycin and cotrimoxazole
  • C. Amphotericin B
  • D. Rifampin ethambutol pyrazinamide
    isoniazide
  • E. Ketoconazole

14
  • A 56 yo otherwise healthy African-American male
    postal worker presents to the ER with abrupt
    onset on dyspnea, stridor, and diaphoresis. His
    wife tells you that he has had fever, malaise,
    anorexia, sore throat, headache, and a dry cough
    for the last 3 days. A CXR shows a widened
    mediastinum and clear lung fields. A Chest CT
    scan showed large mediastinal LN with
    hemorrhages. You make a presumptive diagnosis
    and recommend the following initial treatment?
  • Surgical mediastinotomy
  • Penicillin V
  • C. Amphotericin B
  • D. Heparin IV therapeutic drip
  • E. TMP/SMX

15
  • A 23yo female who is 20 weeks pregnant comes to
    your office requesting advice about toxoplamosis.
    She was freaked out by her friend who scolded
    her for taking care of her cats litter box since
    she has been pregnant. Aside from some mild
    morning sickness experienced for a 7 days at her
    12th week of pregnancy, she has not felt ill at
    all. Which of the following statements is true
    regarding toxoplasmosis and pregnancy?
  • The risk of vertical transmission to fetus is
    highest if acute infection occurs in the first
    trimester.
  • The risk of vertical transmission to fetus is
    highest if acute infection occurs in the third
    trimester.
  • C. The severity of congenital infection in fetus
    is highest if acute infection occurs in the first
    trimester.
  • D. The severity of congenital infection in fetus
    is highest if acute infection occurs in the third
    trimester.
  • Both B C
  • Both A D

16
  • The same 23yo female who is now 21 weeks pregnant
    was referred to your clinic for workup of
    toxoplasmosis infection after an ultrasound
    demonstrated a fetus with symmetric IUGR. Her
    initial serology results showed IgM positive and
    IgG negative. Which interpretation of maternal
    serologies is the most accurate true?
  • Possible acute infection or false-positive IgM
    result. Obtain a new specimen for IgG and IgM
    testing. If results from the second specimen
    remain the same, the IgM reaction is probably a
    false-positive.
  • Definite acute infection, treat the mother to
    prevent congenital infection
  • No serologic evidence for infection with T.
    gondii
  • D. Perform amniocentesis to evaluate for fetal
    infection.

17
  • The same pregnant 23yo female returns to your
    clinc for repeat testing given the initial
    results. Which interpretation of the repeat
    maternal serologies is true?
  • Positive IgM, Negative IgG ? definite acute
    infection
  • Negative IgM, Positive IgG ? definite acute
    infection in the last 2 months
  • Positive IgM, Positive IgG ? acute infection in
    the last 12 months
  • Negative IgM, negative IgG ? false negatives,
    test via an alternative method

    seems red. He remembers being bitten by many
    mosquitoes during the day and the night. The
    skin shows focal petechiae and diffuse
    erythematous warm rash which leaves a residual
    blanched area after pressing on his skin. His
    rapid influenza antigen is negative, blood smear
    shows no parasites. Platelet count is 10k, Hct
    is 60, serum albumin 2.1. Which test is most
    likely to lead to a diagnosis?
