So today I did nbme 5, it was pretty easy I got an ok score 630/245, I just hope the real thing is that easy. But there was this one question that I had no clue about. It showed a picture of a little kids thumb and it had a lesion on it that looked like impetigo or some infection with erythema that was linear and through the entire diameter or the thumb just proximal to the finger nail and it asked what virus caused this, and then it had a bunch of descriptions like dsDNA icosahedral enveloped, that's what i picked it was choice A, other choices had RNA viruses and other types of DNA virus descriptions..i totally guessed on it but I couldn't even come up with a virus that would cause such a lesion on the kids thumb to be honest when i first saw the picture i thought it was a bacterial infection. Anyone know what virus can cause such a lesion? VZV? HSV1? there weren't any vesicles... it was just red line, almost looked like a laceration...I don't remember any other history given with the question just a young child maybe 3 yrs old.
Any suggestions are greatly welcome!
