Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbuncles are considered the most serious staphylococcal skin infection as they involve a deeper infection of multiple hair follicles and can lead to fever and systemic symptoms. Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection, not caused by staphylococcus. Folliculitis involves a superficial infection of a single hair follicle and is typically minor. Furuncles are larger infections than folliculitis but involve only one hair follicle.
