Question: 1 / 400

What is the result of an acute, deep-seated bacterial infection in the subcutaneous tissue?

Carbuncle

An acute, deep-seated bacterial infection in the subcutaneous tissue results in a carbuncle. A carbuncle is a cluster of connected furuncles (boils) that occur under the skin. This type of infection is typically caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus.

Option B, furuncle, is incorrect because a furuncle is a single boil resulting from an infection of a hair follicle.

Option C, scalp conditioner, is incorrect as it is not related to a bacterial infection in the subcutaneous tissue.

Option D, tinea sycosis, is incorrect as tinea sycosis is a fungal infection of the bearded area of the face and neck, not a bacterial infection in the subcutaneous tissue.
