Question 4 of 5
A 30 year old patient had presented with fever and posterior cervical lymphadenopathy over the past two years. Which is the most probably causative organism?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chronic fever and posterior cervical lymphadenopathy (Winterbottom’s sign) over two years suggest African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (C), which is chronic in West Africa. T. cruzi (A) causes Chagas disease (cardiac/gastrointestinal), T. b. rhodesiense (B) is acute, Leishmania donovani (D) causes visceral leishmaniasis (splenomegaly), and Onchocerca volvulus (E) causes river blindness—none match the chronic lymphadenopathy pattern.
Question 5 of 5
Mr XY was found to be anaemic. During history taking, he informed his doctor that he was a strict vegetarian who did not consume any meat, fish or milk products.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A strict vegetarian avoiding meat, fish, and milk products lacks dietary vitamin B12 (found in animal products), leading to B12 deficiency anemia (B). Iron deficiency (A) is possible but less likely with plant-based iron sources, erythropoietin defects (C) are renal-related, calcium deficiency (D) doesn’t cause anemia, and transferrin production defects (E) are rare—B12 deficiency fits the history.
