During a routine examination of a patient with a prolonged cough and slight fever, a Medical Assistant collects a sputulg sample. The laboratory results indicated the presence of hyphae and spores. Which type of infectious agent is most likely responsible for the patient's symptoms?
Virus
Bacteria
Protozoa
Fungus
The patient is likely to be infected by a fungus, as the laboratory results show the presence of hyphae and spores, which are characteristic structures of fungi. Bacteria are unicellular organisms and would not have structures like hyphae or spores. Viruses are intracellular pathogens that are significantly smaller than fungi and do not form hyphae or spores. Protozoa are unicellular parasites and do not produce hyphae or spores, and typically have different symptoms associated with their infections.
