10) A 60-year-old pediatrician develops headache of sudden onset, slurring of speech, and confusion. He is brought to the emergency department, where he arrives with a Glasgow coma score of 8. An emergency CT scan of the head reveals well-demarcated lobar bleeding involving the left frontal lobe, centered in the cortex and extending into the underlying white matter. The patient's history is negative for hypertension or vascular risk factors. Which of the following is the most probable underlying cause of the patient's bleeding?
A. Berry aneurysm rupture
B. Bridging vein tears
C. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy --I guess that must be it (cause MCC is HTN)
D. Middle meningeal artery laceration
E. Undiagnosed hypertension

Several of his coworkers are experiencing similar symptoms. His temperature is 39.8 C (103.6 F), blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg, and pulse is 50/min. Rales are heard on auscultation. Diffuse abdominal tenderness is present. A chest x-ray film reveals bilateral infiltrates. A Gram's stain of his sputum shows numerous neutrophils, but no organisms. A sputum culture on buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar grows gram-negative bacilli. Which of the following is the most likely pathogen?
A. Chlamydia trachomatis
B. Legionella pneumophila -- GI prbs, Bilateral Lung Infiltrates, Charcoal Yest
