Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Candidiasis is exacerbated by the use of systemic antibiotics because the antibiotics eliminate normal flora. Candidiasis is not exacerbated by poor hygiene, advanced age, or anemia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Localized scleroderma is manifested by thickening, not cyanosis, of the skin. Localized sclero-derma is not manifested by necrosis or hyperpigmentation.
