-Early lesions blanche under pressure,followed by a brownish hue that does not blanch as the rash fades

Accepted Answer

The description of early lesions that blanch under pressure followed by a brownish hue that does not blanch as the rash fades is characteristic of Rubeola (red measles).

Rubella (German or 3-day measles)is a common communicable disease of children caused by a:

Accepted Answer

Rubella is caused by a virus, specifically the rubella virus.

Question 4

Thrush is a superficial infection that commonly occurs in children and is caused by:

Accepted Answer

Thrush is caused by a fungal infection from Candida, specifically Candida albicans. Staphylococcus and streptococcus are bacterial infections, and herpesvirus is a viral infection, none of which cause thrush.

Question 6

Which skin disorder is characterized by a vesicular eruption after prolonged exposure to perspiration,with subsequent obstruction of the eccrine ducts?

Accepted Answer

Miliaria, also known as heat rash, occurs when sweat glands become blocked and sweat is trapped under the skin. Prolonged exposure to perspiration, especially in humid environments, can contribute to the development of miliaria. Symptoms include small, itchy red blisters or bumps that may be present on the skin. Scabies, tinea corporis, and pediculosis do not typically present with a vesicular eruption related to perspiration.

Question 7

Which contagious disease has clinical manifestations of burrows several millimeters to 1 cm long,papules,and vesicular lesions with severe itching that worsens at night?

Accepted Answer

Scabies is a highly contagious skin infection caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. The clinical manifestations of scabies include burrows several millimeters to 1 cm long, papules, and vesicular lesions with severe itching that worsens at night. Pediculosis is an infestation of lice, which causes itching and rashes. Tinea capitis is a fungal infection that affects the scalp and causes red, scaly patches. Rubeola, also known as measles, is a viral infection that causes a fever, cough, and a distinctive rash. However, none of these diseases have the same clinical manifestations as scabies.

Question 8

Which vascular anomaly is a congenital malformation of dermal capillaries that does not fade with age?

Accepted Answer

A port-wine stain is a vascular anomaly that is present at birth and is caused by a malformation of the capillaries in the skin. Unlike a strawberry hemangioma, which can regress over time, a port-wine stain does not fade with age. Cutaneous hemangiomas and cavernous hemangiomas are both types of vascular anomalies, but they involve larger blood vessels than dermal capillaries.

Question 9

Which of the following viral diseases has an incubation period of 14 to 21 days and a duration of 1 to 4 days?

Accepted Answer

In rubella the incubation period ranges from 14 to 21 days.

Question 10

The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)vaccine should be administered between 12 and 15 months of age because:

Accepted Answer

The MMR vaccine is administered between 12 and 15 months of age because by this time maternally acquired passive immunity has been depleted, and the child's own immunity is developing. This ensures that the vaccine will be most effective in protecting the child against measles, mumps, and rubella. Children under this age are still protected by maternal antibodies, which can interfere with the vaccine's effectiveness.

Question 11

MATCHING
Match the viral disease with the skin lesions produced.Viral diseases may be used more than once.
-Erythematous macular rash over the trunk and neck that lasts 24 hours

Accepted Answer

Roseola (exanthema subitum) is characterized by a short-lived erythematous macular rash over the trunk and neck that lasts 24 hours.

Answer: A
 Rubella (German measles) also presents with an erythematous macular rash, but it usually starts on the face and spreads downward to the trunk and extremities.

Answer: B
 Rubeola (red measles) produces a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the trunk and extremities. The rash is maculopapular and lasts for several days.

Answer: D
 Varicella (chickenpox) produces a rash that starts as small red papules and progresses to vesicles and crusts. Lesions are usually present all over the body.

Answer: E
 Herpes zoster (shingles) is characterized by painful vesicles that follow a dermatomal distribution.

Question 12

MATCHING
Match the viral disease with the skin lesions produced.Viral diseases may be used more than once.
-Pinpoint white spots surrounded by an erythematous ring over the buccal mucosa

Accepted Answer

Pinpoint white spots surrounded by an erythematous ring over the buccal mucosa is a classic sign of Rubeola (red measles).

Answer: D
 Varicella (chicken pox) also produces skin lesions, but they are typically vesicular and progress to pustular before crusting over.

Answers A, C, and E do not produce skin lesions with the described appearance.

Question 13

_____ is a contagious disease caused by the itch mite.

Accepted Answer

Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease caused by the itch mite (Sarcoptes scabiei). It can be transmitted through close physical contact, sexual contact, or sharing personal items such as clothing or bedding. Symptoms include intense itching and a red, bumpy rash.

Question 14

What is the cause of molluscum contagiosum?

Accepted Answer

Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus called the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV).

Question 15

What is the cause of chickenpox?

Accepted Answer

Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is a type of herpesvirus.

Question 16

Which contagious disease creates a primary skin lesion that is a pinpointed macule,papule,or wheal with hemorrhagic puncture site?

Accepted Answer

Of the options available, only the primary lesion of the body louse (pediculosis) exhibits a pinpoint red macule, papule, or wheal with a hemorrhagic puncture site.

Question 17

Thrush may be defined as:

Accepted Answer

Thrush is a fungal infection caused by Candida, which commonly affects the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat in infants.

Question 18

Rubeola is a highly contagious,acute _____ disease of children.

Accepted Answer

Rubeola is caused by the measles virus, which is a highly contagious virus that spreads through respiratory droplets from an infected person. It is not caused by bacteria, fungi, or yeast.

Question 19

Rubeola and rubella have many of the same clinical manifestations.Which clinical manifestation is present in rubeola,but not rubella?

Accepted Answer

Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is a common clinical manifestation of rubeola (also known as measles) but is not typically seen in rubella (also known as German measles). Enlarged lymph nodes, a cough, and a runny nose are common clinical manifestations shared by both diseases.

Question 20

MATCHING

-Red papules,vesicles,and pustules in clusters on the trunk,scalp,or face

Accepted Answer

Varicella (chicken pox) produces red papules, vesicles, and pustules in clusters on the trunk, scalp, or face.

Answer: E
 Herpes zoster (shingles) can also produce red papules, vesicles, and pustules in clusters on the trunk, scalp, or face, but typically only affects one side of the body.

Answer: A
 Rubella (German measles) can produce a rash of red spots that may merge to form a fine pink rash, but it is not typically characterized by papules, vesicles, or pustules.

Answer: B
 Rubeola (red measles) can produce a rash of red spots that merge to form a rash, which may be accompanied by small raised bumps, but it does not typically produce clusters of papules, vesicles, or pustules.

Answer: C
 Roseola (exanthema subitum) produces a rash of small pink spots, but it is not typically characterized by papules, vesicles, or pustules.
