Question

question 45 a fungal skin disease occurring on various parts of the body is known as: a) tinea. b) pemphigus. c) eczema. d) vulgaris. e) ecchymosis.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Tinea is a fungal skin infection that can occur on various body parts (like tinea corporis, tinea pedis, etc.).
• Option B: Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease, not fungal.
• Option C: Eczema is a skin inflammation, often due to allergies/irritants, not fungal.
• Option D: "Vulgaris" alone (e.g., psoriasis vulgaris) is not a fungal skin disease.
• Option E: Ecchymosis is bruising, not a skin disease related to fungi.

So the correct answer is the option related to fungal skin disease, which is tinea.

Answer:

A. tinea
