Brief Explanations
  • Question 34: The Herpes Zoster Virus (also known as Varicella - Zoster Virus) is responsible for chickenpox (in primary infections) and shingles (in re - activated infections). Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, smallpox by the Variola virus, and mumps by the Mumps virus.
  • Question 35: In medical terminology, “papill” is related to “nipple - like” (from the Latin “papilla” meaning nipple) and “oma” means tumor. So, “papill/oma” literally means “nipple/tumor”.
