Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Enterobiasis does not promote severe diarrhea.
Rationale 2: Pinworms are not manifested by a rash.
Rationale 3: Pinworms are not manifested by chronic cough with sweating at night. These symptoms describe tuberculosis.
Rationale 4: Pinworms are manifested by perianal itching, especially at night.
Global Rationale: Pinworms are manifested by perianal itching, especially at night. Night sweats, rash, and severe diarrhea are not findings associated with this infestation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Cough is not a manifestation of cryptosporidiosis.
Rationale 2: Vomiting is not a symptom of cryptosporidiosis.
Rationale 3: Bullous rash is not a symptom of cryptosporidiosis.
Rationale 4: Treatment of cryptosporidiosis targets the diarrhea it causes.
Global Rationale: Cryptosporidiosis is an infection caused by the protozoan Cryptosporidium parvum that causes severe diarrhea. Cough, vomiting, and rash are not symptoms of cryptosporidiosis.
