A 20 year old woman complained of a worsening headache and felt feverish. In the following 2 hours, she displayed irritability and a decreased ability to concentrate. She became drowsy and it became increasingly difficult to arouse her to a conscious state. An hour later, the emergency room performed a lumbar puncture (spinal tap). The cerebral spinal fluid appeared cloudy and was sent to the microbiology lab.

A 42 -year-old woman has always been extremely neat and tidy. She works as a secretary and stays long after normal working hours to check the punctuation and spelling of letters she prepared during the day. Her boss referred her for counseling after she repeatedly got into fights with her coworkers. "They don't take the job to heart," she says. "They just joke around all day." The most likely preliminary diagnosis for this patient is: (A) obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. (B) $\quad$ antisocial personality disorder. (C) $\quad$ narcissistic personality disorder. (D) $\quad$ borderline personality disorder.
