Question 31

A furuncle is a medical term that refers to a boil, which is a skin infection involving a hair follicle and surrounding tissue. A carbuncle is a cluster of boils, a fistula is an abnormal passageway, and an adenoma is a tumor. So the correct meaning of furuncle is boil.

Rubella is commonly known as German measles. Shingles is herpes zoster, and "9 day measles" is not the term for rubella (measles is a different virus, rubeola). So Rubella is also known as German measles.

Answer:

B. boil
