(Answer to Q. 1)  A
Pneumomediastinum is associated with a pulmonary air leak syndrome. RSV can lead to a decreased airway lumen or partial or complete airway obstruction.

(Answer to Q. 2)  B
Peribronchiolar mononuclear infiltration and small airway epithelial necrosis are anatomic alterations of the lungs found with RSV. Meconium aspiration syndrome can cause a chemical pneumonitis of the small airways. Croup syndrome is associated with edema of the epiglottis and upper airway.

(Answer to Q. 3)  A
There is a skin test to confirm coccidioidomycosis (and histoplasmosis), but not blastomycosis. There is a skin test for tuberculosis, which is caused by bacteria.

(Answer to Q. 4)  B
Blastomycosis is the only fungal lung infection that results in a productive cough with purulent sputum. Histoplasmosis does not cause a large increase in mucus. The other two organisms are bacteria and do cause an increase in mucus.

(Answer to Q. 5)  B
To relieve a tension pneumothorax in a neonate, a needle thoracentesis would be recommended to release the trapped air prior to placement of a chest tube.
