In which of the following areas of the body would a pyelonephritis infection be located?

Choice A rationale

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the small intestine. It is triggered by the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It does not typically cause multiple painless whitish nodules in the mouth.

Choice B rationale

Periodontitis is a severe gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone that supports your teeth. It does not typically cause multiple painless whitish nodules in the mouth.

Choice C rationale

Oral cancer can present as multiple painless whitish nodules in the mouth. Risk factors for oral cancer include tobacco use and heavy alcohol consumption.

Choice D rationale

Oral thrush, also known as oral candidiasis, is a condition in which the fungus Candida albicans accumulates on the lining of the mouth. While it can cause white lesions in the mouth, these are typically creamy and can be painful.

Choice A rationale

Upper right quadrant abdominal pain, radiating into the groin, is not typically associated with diverticulitis. This type of pain is more commonly associated with conditions affecting organs in the upper right quadrant, such as the liver or gallbladder.

Choice B rationale

Diverticulitis typically causes sudden pain in the lower left side of the abdomen. The pain is usually sudden and intense, but it may also be mild and gradually worsen.

Choice C rationale

Lower right quadrant pain is more commonly associated with conditions like appendicitis, not diverticulitis.

Choice D rationale

Sharp, colicky, periunbilical pain is not typically associated with diverticulitis. This type of pain is more commonly associated with conditions like appendicitis or small bowel obstruction.
