Question 27

Histoplasmosis (Darling's disease) is caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, so it is a fungal infection. Bacterial infections are from bacteria, viral from viruses, and rickettsial from rickettsia, which don't apply here.

The prefix "Pharyngo - " is a medical term prefix that refers to the throat. "Nose" is related to "Rhino - ", "Chest" to "Thoraco - ", and "Mouth" to "Ortho - " or "Stomo - " in medical terminology.
