Question 73

Aphthous stomatitis is the medical term for canker sores (small, painful ulcers in the mouth). Cold sores are caused by herpes simplex virus, dry mouth is xerostomia, and shingles is herpes zoster. So the correct option is canker sores.

Mumps (epidemic parotitis) involves inflammation of the parotid glands (near the ears), and "parotitis" refers to parotid gland inflammation. Chickenpox is varicella, measles is rubeola, rubella is German measles—none match the "near/ear/inflamed" meaning or parotitis.

Answer:

A. canker sores
