4 Webpath Questions 1. Candidiasis involves infestation by yeastlike fungi of the genus Candida. Candidiasis (the oral form is called thrush) is common in patients who are diabetic, who are taking long-term antibiotics, or in patients who a. have undergone surgery b. are immunocompromised (weakened immune system). c. have been exposed to radiation. d. have undergone oral intubation. 2. Aspergillus is a genus of mold-like fungi. One of its characteristic growth features is the presence of a. tubercles. b. lesions. c. chancres. d. hyphae. 3. Herpes simplex most often infects a. the liver. b. the lungs. c. connective tissue. d. skin and mucous membranes. 4. A red, acid-fast (a stain that is not washed away by acid) has been used in the photomicrograph. This type of stain, when applied to lung tissue infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, results in a. a three-dimensional effect. b. red-stained cell and blue bacteria. c. red-stained bacteria (red rods). d. none of the above. 5. Ascaris lumbricoides is an example of a pathogenic a. virus. b. worm. c. bacterium. d. protozoon.

5 6. Infestation by scabies mites often results in lesions which are excoriated. Excoriation, in this case, refers to a. abrasions of the epidermis caused by scratching. b. ulcer formation and bleeding caused by toxins. c. hardening of the skin, also called scleroderma. d. formation of a sac containing liquid, also called vesiculation. 7. Head lice are easily visible to the naked eye, appearing about the size of sesame seeds in the hair. Lice are a. insects b. spiders c. worms d. protozoans 8. Hikers who drink from streams may ingest the protozoon Giardia lamblia, which causes backpackers diarrhea (giardiasis). According to the photomicrograph, this condition may be confirmed by a. serological tests. b. microscopic examination of a saliva sample. c. microscopic examination of fecal material (stool sample). d. urinalysis. 9. Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which is visible (with difficulty) in the photomicrograph. These bacteria are seen within a spherical aggregation of macrophages and other cells that are often associated with inflammatory reactions. The general term for this kind of spherical aggregation is a a. vesicle. b. lesion. c. cyst. d. granuloma.

6 10. Neisseria is a genus of gram negative diplococcal bacteria. Specific species of Neisseria commonly cause a. the flu or cold. b. malignancies of lymphomas. c. gonorrhea or meningitis. d. pneumonia or pharyngitis. 11. The pathogen Plasmodium vivax is a protozoon that causes malaria. In the photomicrograph above, it is visible inside the patient s a. neutrophils. b. RBCs c. lymphocytes d. WBCs Graphics for Module 5 Exam See attached graphics.
