Immunity and Diagnosis

A doctor tries to treat an infection with an antibiotic but it does not work. What type of pathogen was this disease not caused by?

• Bacteria

• Virus

• Fungus

• Parasite

Scientists are trying to diagnose an illness by looking at a pathogen. They have to use a very high powered microscope because the disease is smaller than the size of a cell. What type of pathogen are they looking at?

• Bacteria

• Virus

• Fungus

• Parasite

A patient came in having an allergic reaction. Upon review you find they're infected with a multicellular eukaryotic organism that reproduces by spores. What was their infection likely caused by?

• Bacteria

• Virus

• Fungus

• Parasite

Patient is complaining of stomach pain. After a blood sample, you find that they are infected with a single celled, eukaryotic pathogen, that did not respond to antibiotics. They had recently been swimming in a lake. What type of pathogen are they likely impacted by?

• Bacteria

• Virus

• Fungus

• Parasite

A patient is infected with a pathogen made of only DNA and a protein coat. What type of pathogen is this?

• Bacteria

• Virus

• Fungus

• Parasite

An outbreak of a disease has occurred from a non living pathogen. What could be administered to prevent the spread of this disease?

• Antibiotic

• Vaccine

• Antifungal

• Agony

A patient is infected with a single celled pathogen that does not have a nucleus. What would you prescribe to help them get better?

• Antibiotic

• Vaccine

• Antifungal

• Agony

A patient is infected with a multicellular pathogen with nucleus bound genetic material that is causing itching, burning, and redness between his toes. What would you prescribe to help them get better?

• Antibiotic

• Vaccine

• Antifungal

• Turmoil

Scientists are researching a pathogen that is found in various parts of the world impacting crops. The pathogen is tricky because in some areas the cells are reproducing sexually while in other areas it is reproducing asexually. What type of pathogen are they looking at?

• Bacteria

• Virus

• Fungus

• Capsid
