Answer:

The answer is C. Mycobacterium.

Explanation:

According to the symptoms the male demonstrates in the question, the primary organism causing these should be Mycobacterium because it is a bacteria that is associated with causing diseases such as Tuberculosis and Leprosy.

The symptoms of Tuberculosis include most of the listed ones which are fever, weakness and weight loss.

The diagnosis of endogenous osteomyelitis also indicates that the back pain is caused by the tuberculosis as well, Tuberculous Osteomyelitis to be exact which is also defined as Skeletal Tuberculosis.

I hope this answer helps.

How does the change in the estrogen level corrrespond to the gradual thickening of the uterine lining
vfiekz [6]
<span>The gradual thickening of the uterine lining also called Endometrial Hyperplasia is often caused by having excess estrogen without enough progesterone to balance it. During menstruation, the estrogen causes the lining to thicken in preparation for pregnancy. When the progesterone is made during the second half of the cycle and the progesterone levels drop, the lining is shed. And if the ovulation didn’t occur, progesterone is not made and the lining is not shed properly, the lining will keep on building gradually that may lead to cancer in some women.         </span>
