Question

Which is characterized by a pseudomembrane forming in the throat
A)Diphtheria
B)Pertussis
C)Pharyngitis
D)Laryngitis

Accepted Answer

Diphtheria is characterized by the formation of a pseudomembrane in the throat, which can lead to difficulty breathing and swallowing. Pertussis (whooping cough) is characterized by severe coughing fits and may cause vomiting, but does not typically involve a pseudomembrane. Pharyngitis and laryngitis are both inflammation of the throat, but do not necessarily involve a pseudomembrane.
