Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An examthema is an eruption. Blistering is swelling. Pustular is raised and filled with white blood cells. Urticarial is itching.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This child has manifestations of molluscum contagiosum, a viral infection that generally resolves on its own. Because this is contagious, the bathtub should be disinfected after the child bathes and his or her towels should not be shared. More aggressive treatment is only used for cases that do not resolve or when the lesions become infected.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
