Answer to Question 1

A
An A. niger infection is best treated with fluconazole (Diflucan). The other listed options are used against other fungi, viruses, or bacteria.

An adult with a compromised immune system who is over age 65 is at increased risk for a severe case of RSV. A history of asthma or being under age 30 is not an increased risk factor for RSV.
