Question

1. crypto/cocc/o/sis is caused by:

○ rickettsia
○ bacterium
○ budding yeast fungus
○ virus

1. what is spiro/metry used to evaluate?

○ lung blood flow
○ tuberculosis activity
○ lung size
○ lung capacity

Explanation:

Question 13

Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection. Among the options, rickettsia causes rickettsial diseases, bacterium causes bacterial infections, virus causes viral infections, while cryptococcosis is caused by a budding yeast fungus (Cryptococcus).

Spirometry is a test that measures how much air a person can breathe in and out and how quickly. It is used to evaluate lung capacity (including measures like forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, etc.). Lung blood flow is assessed by other methods, tuberculosis activity by tests like sputum culture/PCR, and lung size is not the primary evaluation of spirometry.

Answer:

budding yeast fungus
