Question 3 of 5
A patient who is suspected of having acute viral hemorrhagic fever reveals history of tick bite. Which of the following is the most possible causative agent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a tick-borne virus transmitted primarily by Hyalomma ticks, making it the most likely causative agent in a patient with a history of tick bite and symptoms of viral hemorrhagic fever (fever, bleeding). Hantavirus (A) is rodent-borne, Rift Valley virus (B) is mosquito-borne, and Marburg virus (D) is bat-associated, none of which align with tick transmission. Ross River virus (E) is mosquito-borne and not a hemorrhagic fever. Thus, CCHFV (C) is the correct answer.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is the most suitable anti malarial drug for pregnant women?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Quinine with clindamycin (C) is safe and effective for malaria in pregnancy, especially for uncomplicated cases. Atovaquone-proguanil (A) lacks sufficient safety data, doxycycline (B) is contraindicated due to fetal bone/teeth effects, primaquine (D) risks hemolysis, and mefloquine (E) has teratogenic concerns—making C the best choice.
Question 5 of 5
Bone marrow responds to iron therapy by increasing erythropoietic activity. Which of the following in bone marrow would most likely indicate erythropoiesis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reticulocytes (B) are immature RBCs released from bone marrow during active erythropoiesis, increasing with iron therapy in iron deficiency anemia. Myelocytes (A) are myeloid precursors, ring sideroblasts (C) indicate sideroblastic anemia, target cells (D) suggest liver/hemoglobinopathy, and megakaryoblasts (E) are platelet precursors—reticulocytes directly reflect erythropoiesis.
