Question 1 • Contemporary Health

Which disease can be treated with an antibiotic?

Answer
A
strep throat
B
malaria
C
chicken pox
D
athlete’s foot

Explanation

Strep throat is usually caused by bacteria, and antibiotics treat bacterial infections. Malaria is caused by a parasite, chicken pox by a virus, and athlete’s foot by a fungus, so antibiotics do not treat those diseases.
