I don't have the exact ones, but if you took it, maybe you remember.
HIV pt. presented with confusion and mental status changes, died 2 days later. Image of an H & E stain of meninges. Looked like cryptococcus, only that is usually india ink stain. Cells/organism had big halos. Choices:
A. Candida
B. Cryptococcus
C. Mycobacterium-avium
D. Pneumocystis
E. Toxoplasma
Guys fingers got cyanotic on a cold night when he was walking his dog. Cause:
A. Decreased parasymp
B. Increased symp
C. Increased ADH
D. Decreased renin-angiotensin
E. Mast cell histamine release
F. Platelet serotonin release
I picked B for both. Got 590/238 so may have been right, but really have no idea. Anyone know?
