What infection is commonly seen in immunosuppressed patients?

Common cold
Thrush caused by Candida albicans
Chickenpox
Influenza

The correct answer is: Thrush caused by Candida albicans

Immunosuppressed patients have a weakened immune system, making them more susceptible to infections. The common cold, chickenpox, and influenza can all be seen in these patients but they are not specifically associated with immunosuppression. On the other hand, thrush, caused by Candida albicans, is often seen in immunosuppressed patients due to the weakened state of their immune system. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it is the only infection that is specifically associated with immunosuppression.
