Answer 2

2.  Choice B is the correct answer.  Pneumococcal pneumonia presents usually in young, health individuals with a lobar pneumonia.  Patients frequently will have chills and shakes.  Tuberculosis presents with hemoptysis, night sweats, weight loss, and cavitary lesions in the upper lobes on chest x-ray.  Pulmonary emboli typically will not have a lobar pneumonia with it.
