Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Erythrocytes rupture early in the course of the illness, and medications are more effective at this stage.
Rationale 2: Late in the illness, medications are often ineffective because the parasites are in cysts, not because the immune system is overwhelmed.
Rationale 3: The parasites begin multiplying in the liver in the earliest stage of the illness when medications are most effective.
Rationale 4: When cysts occur inside the host, the parasite is often resistant to pharmacotherapy.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,4,5
Rationale 1: Superficial infections are less difficult, not more difficult, to treat than systemic infections.
Rationale 2: Some of the newer antifungal agents may be used for either superficial or systemic infections.
Rationale 3: Systemic infections are less, not more, common than superficial infections.
Rationale 4: Superficial infections are relatively benign; systemic infections can be life threatening.
Rationale 5: Systemic infections often require aggressive oral or parenteral medications that produce more adverse effects than the topical agents.
