Answer to Question 1

A
Patients with COPD are prone to getting an M. avium or M. kansasii infection. There is no greater risk associated with the other lung problems.

Answer to Question 2

D
TB does not usually occur in the lower lobes because they have less oxygen in them than the upper lobes. Other high-oxygen organs include the kidneys and brain.
