Solution

Gonorrhoea is the disease among the listed ones that can be treated with antibiotics.

Here's why:

  1. Malaria: Malaria is caused by a parasite that is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It is not caused by bacteria, so antibiotics wouldn't work. Antimalarial medications are used to treat this disease.

  2. Measles: Measles is a viral disease. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, so they cannot be used to treat measles. Instead, measles can be prevented with vaccination.

  3. Gonorrhoea: Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, so they can be used to treat gonorrhoea.

  4. HIV/AIDS: HIV/AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. Like measles, it is a viral disease and cannot be treated with antibiotics. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used to manage this disease.
