Question 75

A "bulls - eye" rash is a characteristic sign of Lyme disease, which is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted by ticks. Erysipelas has a different rash appearance (raised, red, warm), scarlet fever has a sandpaper - like rash, and tularemia has different clinical manifestations and rash patterns (if present) that don't match the bulls - eye rash.

The term "candida" comes from the Latin word meaning "glowing white". Chromoblastomycosis is related to pigmented fungi, histoplasmosis is named after the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, and tinea cruris is a type of ringworm (fungal infection of the groin) with a different etymology.

B. Lyme disease
