I'll give a hint for Puzzle #6:

> 	A 27-old Hispanic female from the South Bronx is referred to clinic
> with a 2-week history of dry cough, fever, shortness of breath, and weight
> loss. On physical exam, she has a temperature of 102. An examination of her
> head reveals oral thrush (an infection of the mouth by the yeast Candida).
Hint:
	The referral came from the Methadone Maintenance Program, or does that
make it too obvious?...

	Either way, I'll discuss a differential diagnosis when I post the
answer.
