Answer to Question 1

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 Question 2

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.
