Which of the Following is the Most Common Cause of Fungal

Question

Which of the following is the most common cause of fungal infections in HIV/AIDS patients?
A) Candida albicans
B) Giardia intestinalis
C) Leishmania tropica
D) Schistosoma mansoni

Accepted Answer

Candida albicans is a common cause of fungal infections in HIV/AIDS patients. This is because HIV/AIDS weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to opportunistic infections such as candidiasis. Giardia intestinalis is a protozoan parasite that causes diarrhea, and is not a fungal infection. Leishmania tropica and Schistosoma mansoni are both parasitic infections, not fungal infections.
