Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Candidiasis is caused by a yeast-like fungus, not a virus, a bacterium, or a parasite.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Herpes zoster causes shingles, a disorder similar to chicken pox. Erysipelas is caused by strep. Poliomyelitis is not manifested by painful vesicles. Warts are not painful.
