What disease produces fever blisters or cold sores?

  1. Herpes simplex

  2. Chickenpox

  3. Shingles

  4. Measles

The correct answer is: Herpes simplex

Fever blisters or cold sores are a common symptom of herpes simplex, a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. While chickenpox, shingles and measles can all cause skin lesions, they are not the same as fever blisters or cold sores which are specifically caused by herpes simplex. Additionally, chickenpox and shingles are typically characterized by a rash on the body, while measles usually presents with a full-body rash and fever.
