Which statement is incorrect?

Correct answer: A. Syphilis is caused by a virus

  • A. Syphilis is caused by a virus
  • B. Syphilis affects the eyes, bones, joints, and CNS
  • C. Genital herpes produces genital sores and ulcers
  • D. Gonorrhea is caused by a gram-negative bacterium

Explanation

The correct answer is that 'Syphilis is caused by a virus,' which is incorrect because syphilis is actually caused by a bacterium, Treponema pallidum. The other options are accurate: Syphilis can indeed affect various body parts if untreated; genital herpes typically results in sores and ulcers; and Gonorrhea is correctly attributed to a gram-negative bacterium.
