B
A 55 year old male, current smoker, executive, consults at your clinic for a 6-week history of non-productive cough accompanied by a sensation of throat fullness. He denies any other complaints. He has been diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes for which he has been taking enalapril, glibenclamide, and simvistatin regularly. Physical examination is unremarkable. Chest radiograph reveals no significant findings.
What is the most likely cause of his cough?
A. Congestive heart failure B. Chronic bronchitis C. Bronchiectasis D. ACEi-induced cough E. Bronchiectasis
D
A 24 year old medical clerk from PGH complains of a cough productive of whitish sputum, occasional hemoptysis, fever, malaise, and anorexia of 3 weeks’ duration. He has no other complaints. Physical examination reveals a weak-looking, mildly underweight patient. There are no other remarkable findings.
Which lab test will you prioritize to determine the diagnosis of this patient’s condition?
A. Chest X-ray B. CBC C. Sputum AFB smears D. Sputum, GS, CS E. Spirometry
C
A 60 y.o. female who has repeated history of pneumonia wand was previously adequately treated for PTB, now consults for a 1-month history of cough productive of white, think sputum which was difficult to expectorate. She has no fever or dyspnea. Lung findings revealed occasional crackles in the right lower lung field. Her chest imaging studies revealed bronchiectasis. What medication will you recommend for this patient at this time?
A. Levodropropizine B. Erdosteine C. Codeine D. Dextrometorphan E. Tranexamic Acid

B
A 30 y.o. teacher, non-smoker, with a strong atopic family history consults you for an on-and-off cough productive of white, occasionally yellow, phlegm, since 6 months ago, often occurring at night and early in the morning. She recalls that her cough has become worse since 2 weeks ago when the classroom computer broke down and she had to write on the blackboard with chalk. She has no other complaints, except for occasional chest tightness. The rest of her clinical history and physical examination are unremarkable. A chest radiograph done 1 month ago was normal.
