A 45-year-old man with HIV infection comes to the office because of a 6-week history of swelling near the left side of his neck. His most recent CD4+ T-lymphocyte count was 42/mm3 (N>500), and plasma HIV viral load was 55,000 copies/mL. He currently takes no medications. His temperature is 38oC (100oF), pulse is 72/min, respirations are 12/min and blood pressure is 120/81 mmHg. Physical examination shows a left supraclavicular mass.

A 50-year-old postmenopausal woman has emphysema. This lung disease impairs the ability to oxygenate the blood, so patients experience significant fatigue and shortness of breath. To alleviate these symptoms, oxygen is typically prescribed, and this patient has a portable oxygen tank she carries with her at all times, breathing through nasal cannulae. Before she began using oxygen, her red blood cell (RBC) count was 6.3 x 1012/L. After oxygen therapy for several months, her RBC count dropped to 4.0 x 1012/L. What physiologic response explains the elevation of the first RBC count? What hormone is responsible? How is its production stimulated? What is the major way in which it acts? What explains the decline in RBC count with oxygen therapy for this patient?
A 35-year-old African American woman complains of shortness of breath and cough for the last 2 months. She also has had fatigue and mild subjective fever.

A biopsy of one of the skin nodules shows noncaseating granuloma. What are the diagnostic considerations? What serum blood test can help confirm the diagnosis?
