Question

From the following pairs, find the one which is correctly matched?
A) Scurvy- Thiamine
B) Tuberculosis- ATS
C) Tetanus- BCG
D) Malaria- Chloroquine

Answer 1

The correct match is Malaria-Chloroquine.

There is no vaccine for scurvy.

BCG is the vaccine for tuberculosis.

TT - tetanus toxoid is the vaccine for Tetanus.

Answer 2

D) Malaria- Chloroquine is correctly matched.

• Malaria can be treated and prevented with the drug chloroquine.
• Scurvy is caused by a severe vitamin C deficiency. They include tooth loss, bleeding sores, anaemia, and a slower pace of wound healing. If untreated, it might be lethal. Vitamin C supplements can be administered intravenously or orally to treat scurvy.
• Isoniazid INH is frequently used in conjunction with the medications rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol to treat active TB. Taking the medication may make you feel better within a few weeks, but treating TB takes far longer than treating other bacterial diseases.
• Tetanus is treated with aggressive wound care and a medication known as human tetanus immune globulin (TIG).

Hence, the correct answer is D.
