位置18的问题 Yeast is a secondary infection.TrueFalse

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a true/false statement about yeast being a secondary infection and asks you to evaluate it against the two options.
Option 1 (True): This statement is commonly considered correct in clinical contexts because yeast infections, particularly those caused by Candida species, are often opportunistic and emerge as secondary infections after disruption of normal flora. Common scenarios include antibiotic use, which reduces bacterial competitors, immunosuppression, diabetes, or hospitalized patients, where overgrowth leads to a secondary infection rather than a primary one. This reasoning aligns with the concept of opportunistic infections that arise following another primary condition or treatment.
Option 2 (False): Saying yeast infections are never primary is inaccurate. While many yeast infections are secondary, there are occasions where a yeast infection could be a primary issue, especially in individuals with significant immune compromise or in unusual exposure scenarios. Moreover, framing it as “never” could misrepresent situations where yeast acts as the initial infectious agent in a susceptible host. Therefore, this blanket negation is flawed.
In summary, the statement that yeast is a secondary infection is generally true in the typical clinical sense, but the assertion that it is never primary omits exceptions and is therefore not universally correct.
