Question 3 of 5
A patient shows prolonged prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time. Blood test otherwise is normal. Which of the following is the most probably diagnosis for this patient’s condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Prolonged PT and aPTT with otherwise normal blood tests (e.g., normal platelet count) suggest a deficiency in vitamin K-dependent factors (II, VII, IX, X), as in vitamin K deficiency (D). Hemophilia A (A) prolongs aPTT only (factor VIII), thrombocytopenia (B) affects bleeding time, von Willebrand disease (C) may prolong aPTT but affects platelets, and hypofibrinogenemia (E) is rare and not isolated to PT/aPTT prolongation.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A peripheral blood smear showing increase in numbers of neutrophils, band cells, metamyelocytes, myelocytes, basophils, eosinophils and platelets is most suggestive
