Answer to Question 1

A
The swelling brought on by the fluid that collects at the site compresses nerves, causing pain.

Answer to Question 2

A
Immature white blood cells are released when the more mature circulating cells have not been able to combat an ongoing bacterial infection. Eosinophils increase in response to allergic reac-tions, and red blood cells are associated with anemia. An increase in lymphocytes is seen with a viral infection.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
