Question 5 of 5
A patient is presented with weakness of legs, arms, trunk, tingling and numbness that progressively worsens. Peripheral blood smear shows macrocytic anemia. Which of the following is not the factor causing this condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The symptoms (weakness, tingling, numbness) and macrocytic anemia suggest vitamin B12 deficiency, often causing subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. Chronic atrophic gastritis (A), ileal resection (B), tapeworm infestation (C), and alcoholism (D) all impair B12 absorption or metabolism. Exposure to nitrous oxide (E) inactivates B12, causing similar symptoms, but it’s an external factor, not a chronic condition like the others, making it the least fitting as a 'factor causing this condition.'
