Question 1 of 5
Tick the drug for echinococcosis treatment:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Mebendazole or Albendazole. These drugs are commonly used for the treatment of echinococcosis due to their efficacy against tapeworm infections. Mebendazole and Albendazole work by inhibiting the parasite's ability to absorb glucose, leading to its death. Suramin (choice A) is used for African sleeping sickness, not echinococcosis. Piperazine (choice C) is used for roundworm infections, not echinococcosis. Iodoquinol (choice D) is used for amoebic infections, not echinococcosis.
Question 2 of 5
Which of these drugs would be most appropriate to treat the patient's condition?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Demeclocycline. It is the most appropriate choice for the patient's condition due to its ability to treat syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), characterized by excessive release of antidiuretic hormone causing water retention. Demeclocycline acts as a competitive antagonist of ADH, helping to correct the water imbalance. Desmopressin (A) is a synthetic form of ADH and would exacerbate the condition. Hydrochlorothiazide (B) and Amiloride (D) are diuretics that would further worsen the water imbalance in SIADH by increasing urine output.
