physicians who can contribute their time and knowledgeto help us develop our QBank for the USMLE Step 1.

Detailed information about the USMLE Step 1 can be found at:http://www.usmle.org/Examinations/step1/step1.html Tis is what we need developed:

•

Sample USMLE Step 1 MCQs and Topics to createCDM Cases about are listed here:http://www.usmle.org/Examinations/step1/2011Step1.pdf

Sample USMLE Step 1 Multiple Choice Question: A 54 year old woman suffering from inuenza deterioratesand develops shaking chills and a high fever. Physicalexamination is remarkable for dullness to percussion atthe left base and decreased breath sounds on the left.Chest x-ray conrms the diagnosis of lobar pneumonia,presumed to be caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.Te patient has no known drug allergies. Which of thefollowing antibiotics would be most appropriate to treatthe patient’s condition?

A. Cefotaxime B. Chloramphenicol C. ErythromycinD. PenicillinE. Vancomycin

Explanation:Te correct answer is D. Penicillin remains the rst-linedrug of choice for pneumococcal pneumonia, exceptin patients with penicillin allergy and in the relativelyfew areas in which pneumococcal strains with high-levelpenicillin resistance exist. Alternative therapies includeerythromycin and vancomycin. Te third-generationcephalosporin cefotaxime (choice A) is not usually usedfor pneumococcal pneumonia. Chloramphenicol (choiceB) is not usually used for pneumococcal pneumonia.Erythromycin (choice C) is a good alternative therapyfor pneumococcal pneumonia, but is usually used only

when a penicillin allergy is present. Vancomycin (choiceE) is not the rst-line therapy, but it is a good alternativein patients allergic to penicillin or when high-level penicil-

lin resistance (relatively uncommon) is present.
