Question
- herpes in greek means:
○ to flow
○ to creep
○ to scab
○ to scar
- with mumps, often there is inflammation of the tear gland, or:
○ panophthalmitis
○ pterygium
○ dacryoadenitis
○ chemosis
Question 29
The term "herpes" in Greek etymology means "to creep", which is related to the characteristic of the herpes virus or the lesions it causes spreading or creeping. The other options: "to flow" does not match, "to scab" and "to scar" are related to later stages of wound healing rather than the root meaning of herpes.
Dacryoadenitis is the inflammation of the lacrimal (tear) gland. Panophthalmitis is inflammation of the entire eye, Pterygium is a growth on the eye, and Chemosis is swelling of the conjunctiva. So for mumps - related tear gland inflammation, Dacryoadenitis is the correct term.
