B. Haemophilus
C. Neisseria
D. Chlamydia
E. Trichomonas

Answer 1

Chancroid is a bacterial infection that causes males and females to have open sores on or near their genitals. It is a form of sexually transmitted disease ( STD), which means that through sexual contact it is transmitted.

Complete Answer:
The Haemophilus ducreyi bacterium causes this infection. In the genital region, it attacks tissue and causes an open sore that is often called a chancroid or ulcer.
During oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse, the ulcer may bleed or produce an infectious fluid that can spread bacteria. Chancroid is also able to spread to an infected person through skin-to - skin contact with it.

Who is at risk of chancroid disease?
Someone could be at risk of developing chancroids if they are sexually active. They could be more at risk than people who live in countries with ample resources if you fly to or live in a country that lacks those resources.

Such resources include:
1. Healthcare
2. Food
3. Shelter
4. Water

Symptoms: In males and females, the symptoms may differ, but usually they begin four to seven days after exposure.
- Men: Men may find a small, red bump on their genitals that, within a day or two, may change to an open sore. On any part of the genitals, including the penis and scrotum, ulcers can form. Ulcers are also painful.
- Women: On the labia, between the labia and anus, or on the thighs, females may develop four or more red bumps. The labia are the skin folds that the female genitals protect. Females may feel a burning or painful sensation during urination or bowel movements after the bumps become ulcerated or open.

The correct Answer is Option (B) Haemophilus.

Note: If treated, the disorder is curable. If all medications are taken as prescribed by your doctor, chancroid sores can heal without visible scarring. Untreated chancroid conditions can cause permanent male genital scarring and lead to severe complications and female infections.
