134-C. immitis is the most virulent of all human mycotic pathogens. (This statement is incorrect because while Coccidioides immitis is pathogenic, it is not considered the most virulent of all human mycotic pathogens.) 135-C. Aspergillus spp. (Aspergillus species, especially Aspergillus flavus, can produce aflatoxin.) 136-A. Candida albicans (This organism is responsible for oral thrush, especially in immunocompromised patients.) 137-B. Men have higher exposure to the arthroconidia because of field work (This is a plausible explanation for the higher incidence in men.) 138-D. 5-Flucytosine + amphotericin B (This combination is typically used in treating cryptococcal meningitis and is considered effective.)
