Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) can be caused by all the following EXCEPT

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Allopurinol is not a major cause of DRESS syndrome, whereas anticonvulsants and sulfonamides are common triggers.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Skeeter syndrome is a hypersensitivity reaction to mosquito saliva, presenting as exaggerated local swelling and inflammation, often mistaken for infections like erythema nodosum.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Candida albicans has the highest case fatality rate among neonatal sepsis pathogens due to its invasive nature and difficulty in treatment.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Nasal corticosteroids, such as budesonide, are the most effective treatment for persistent allergic rhinitis, reducing inflammation and nasal symptoms more effectively than antihistamines or leukotriene inhibitors.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Early postnatal dexamethasone is associated with adverse effects such as metabolic derangements, poor growth, and increased infection risk, but it is not directly linked to cerebral palsy. The other options are known risks.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Preterm infants have limited glycogen stores and are at risk of hypoglycemia, which can lead to bradycardia, hypotension, and metabolic acidosis.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Look-Listen-Feel is a primary assessment step in BLS to check for effective breathing before initiating rescue breaths or CPR.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Primary nocturnal enuresis is generally not linked to emotional disorders but instead to factors like genetics, bladder capacity, or nighttime urine production.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Diarrhea leads to metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap due to excessive bicarbonate loss in stool. This type of acidosis is known as hyperchloremic acidosis, where chloride replaces lost bicarbonate.
