Question 3 of 5

Following acute bronchiolitis, which virus is associated with the long-term complication of bronchiolitis obliterans?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Bronchiolitis obliterans is a rare, chronic obstructive lung disease following severe lower respiratory infection. Adenovirus (Choice A) is the virus most commonly associated with this complication, particularly after severe bronchiolitis in young children, due to its propensity for persistent airway injury. Human metapneumovirus (Choice B), influenza (Choice C), and parainfluenza (Choice D) can cause bronchiolitis but are less frequently linked to bronchiolitis obliterans. Adenovirus’s strong association makes it the correct answer.

Question 4 of 5

What is the most likely diagnosis for this infant?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A 5-day-old with severe heart failure, poor pulses, gallop rhythm, click, and ejection systolic murmur suggests critical aortic stenosis (Choice D). This congenital narrowing obstructs left ventricular outflow, causing heart failure and diminished pulses early in life. Arteriovenous malformation (Choice A) doesn’t cause this cardiac picture. Atrioventricular septal defect (Choice B) presents later with shunts. Coarctation (Choice C) affects lower pulses more. Critical aortic stenosis fits the acute onset and findings.

Question 5 of 5

A male child lives in a shelter. He has atopic dermatitis. Most serious viral infection in atopic dermatitis is:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: HSV causes eczema herpeticum, a severe complication in atopic dermatitis due to impaired skin barriers (AAD). Other viruses (A-D) are less critical in this context.
