<IMAGE> DRAW IT Show the location of the following diseases: common cold, COVID-19, diphtheria, coccidioidomycosis, influenza, pneumonia, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, and whooping cough.

Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together, which of the following is considered a viral disease of the lower respiratory system. Is it answer choice. A COVID-19. Answer choice B histoplasmosis. Answer choice C tuberculosis or answer choice. Do titus media. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is considered a viral disease of the lower respiratory system. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about each of the following conditions to determine which of the following is a viral disease that affects the lower respiratory system. And since we are looking for a viral disease, we know that we are looking for something that is caused by a virus. And we can identify that answer choice. B histoplasmosis is not considered a viral disease. As histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that is caused by inhaling spores of the fungus histoplasma capsulatum. So it is not considered a viral disease. So, answer choice B is incorrect. And we can also identify answer choice C which says tuberculosis. We know that tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. So it is also not a viral disease as it is a bacterial infection. So answer choice C is also incorrect. And we can recall that answer choice. Do titus media which can be caused by a virus o titus media involves an infection or inflammation of the middle ear, which we can recall that the middle ear is not part of the lower respiratory system and instead is part of the upper respiratory system which would make answer choice d incorrect leaving us with only answer choice, which says COVID-19. And we can recall that COVID-19, which is caused by the novel Coronavirus. SARS COVID two can cause a range of respiratory symptoms. So that would make COVID-19 a viral disease that affects the lower respiratory system. So answer choice. A is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
