Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The herpes zoster virus has an affinity for posterior root ganglia, the posterior horn of the spinal cord, and skin. The zoster virus does not involve sympathetic or parasympathetic nerve fibers and the lateral and dorsal columns of the spinal cord.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Local destructive therapy individualized according to location, type, and numberincluding surgical removal, electrocautery, curettage, cryotherapy, caustic solutions, x-ray treatment, and laser therapiesis used. Vaccination is prophylaxis for warts and is not a treatment. Corticosteroids and specific antibiotic therapy are not effective in the treatment of warts.
