Answer 1

The correct option is D Syphilis-Trichuris trichiura

• Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. In syphilis, the patient is suffering from single painless, clean-cut ulcer with indurated base and rubbery, non-tender inguinal adenopathy around the genital organs. Lymph node enlargement frequently (80%) occurs around the area of infection, occurring seven to 10 days after chancre formation (painless ulcer).
  
• Hence syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum.
• So, the correct answer is 'Option D'.
