Question 2 of 5
After seven days of treatment with sulfonamides a patient’s haemoglobin had decreased from 14.7 gm/100 ml to 10 gm/100 ml. The most likely cause of hemolysis in this patient is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sulfonamides are oxidative drugs that can trigger hemolysis in G6PD deficiency (D), an X-linked condition where RBCs lack sufficient NADPH to combat oxidative stress, leading to hemoglobin drop (14.7 to 10 g/dL). Sickle cell disease (A) requires a trigger like hypoxia, thalassemia minor (B) is mild, hereditary spherocytosis (C) isn’t drug-related, and Coombs-positive hemolysis (E) is autoimmune—G6PD fits the drug-induced timeline.
Question 3 of 5
A peripheral blood smear showing increase in numbers of neutrophils, band cells, metamyelocytes, myelocytes, basophils, eosinophils and platelets is most suggestive
Correct Answer: C

Question 4 of 5
Regarding spermatogenesis, we can state the following:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Spermatogenesis occurs in the convoluted seminiferous tubules, where germ cells develop into sperm. Interstitial (Leydig) cells produce testosterone, not sperm, making A and B incorrect. While it begins at puberty (around 12-14), C is more precise as it identifies the location, which is the core of the question.
