C. Pityriasis (Tinea) VersicolorExplanation
Malassezia furfur is a type of fungus that causes Pityriasis (Tinea) Versicolor. This condition is characterized by the development of discolored patches on the skin, usually on the chest, back, and upper arms. The fungus disrupts the normal pigmentation of the skin, leading to the appearance of lighter or darker patches. Pityriasis Versicolor is not contagious but can be recurrent and is commonly seen in warm and humid climates. Treatment usually involves the use of antifungal medications, such as topical creams or oral medications, to eliminate the fungus and restore the normal color of the skin.Rate this question:

What is used to treat Otomycosis along with a wax hook to remove exudate?
- A.
Griseofulvin
- B.
Miconazole
- C.
Ketoconazole
- D.
Terbinafine
- E.
Floconazole
Correct Answer
C. KetoconazoleExplanation
Ketoconazole is used to treat Otomycosis, a fungal infection of the ear. Along with a wax hook to remove exudate, ketoconazole helps in eliminating the fungal infection by inhibiting the growth of fungi. It is an antifungal medication that works by preventing the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption weakens the cell membrane, leading to the death of the fungus. Therefore, ketoconazole is an effective treatment option for Otomycosis when used in combination with a wax hook to remove the exudate.Rate this question:

- A.
Normal flora
- B.
Symbiosis
- C.
Commensalism
- D.
Mutualism
- E.
Parasitism
Correct Answer
B. SymbiosisExplanation
Symbiosis refers to the close association or living together of organisms of different species. It is a relationship where both organisms benefit from each other. This can include mutualism, where both organisms benefit, or commensalism, where one organism benefits while the other is unaffected. It can also involve parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense of the other. Symbiosis is a broad term that encompasses various types of interactions between different species.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Tinea manuum is most prevalent in males and associated with Tinea CorporisExplanation
The statement "Tinea manuum is most prevalent in males and associated with Tinea Corporis" is false. Tinea manuum is a fungal infection of the hand, and it is not more prevalent in males. It can be associated with Tinea Corporis (fungal infection of the body), but this association is not exclusive to males. Tinea unguium, on the other hand, is a fungal infection of the nails and is commonly associated with Tinea pedis (fungal infection of the foot) or Tinea manuum.Rate this question:

Normal flora
- B.
Symbiosis
- C.
Commensalism
- D.
Mutualism
- E.
Parasitism
Correct Answer
E. ParasitismExplanation
Parasitism is the correct answer because it describes a relationship in which one organism, the parasite, depends on another organism, the host, for its metabolic needs. In this relationship, the host is usually harmed. This distinguishes it from other options like symbiosis, commensalism, and mutualism, which do not necessarily involve harm to the host.Rate this question:

Mutualism
- E.
Parasitism
Correct Answer
D. MutualismExplanation
Mutualism is a type of symbiosis in which both the host and the parasite benefit. In this relationship, both organisms rely on each other for survival and gain advantages from the interaction. Unlike parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense of the other, mutualism is a cooperative relationship where both parties benefit. Normal flora refers to the microorganisms that live on or inside the body without causing harm, while commensalism is a type of symbiosis where one organism benefits while the other is unaffected.Rate this question:
