NEET-PG 2017 - General Medicine NEET-PG Practice Questions and MCQs
Question 261: Which of the following is correct about the image shown?
- A. Cutaneous Larva migrans
- B. Visceral larva migrans
- C. Tenia solium
- D. Dracunculus (Correct Answer)
Explanation: ***Dracunculus*** - The image shows a procedure for extracting a **guinea worm (Dracunculus medinensis)** by gradually winding it around a stick. - This characteristic method of removal is pathognomonic for **dracunculiasis**. *Cutaneous Larva migrans* - This condition presents as **serpiginous, erythematous, pruritic tracks** on the skin, caused by hookworm larvae. - It does not involve a visible worm being extracted with a stick. *Visceral larva migrans* - This is caused by the migration of nematode larvae (typically *Toxocara canis* or *cati*) through internal organs, with systemic symptoms. - It does not manifest as a worm emerging from a skin lesion. *Tenia solium* - *Taenia solium* (pork tapeworm) infection can manifest as taeniasis (intestinal infection) or **cysticercosis** (larval cysts in tissues). - Neither of these presentations involves a worm being manually extracted from a skin lesion in this manner.
Question 262: A diplomat from Peru was posted to India last week. Today he has brought his 10-year-old daughter to your clinic since the child has developed this swelling in the eye and feels feverish. Comment on the clinical sign and the insect bite responsible for the same:
- A. Faget sign, Reduvid bug
- B. Chigger allergy, Trombiculid mites
- C. Romana sign, Triatomine bug (Correct Answer)
- D. Eschar, Cimex Lectularis
Explanation: ***Romana sign, Triatomine bug*** - The image depicts **Romana sign**, characterized by **unilateral periorbital edema**, which is a classic early clinical manifestation of **Chagas disease** (American trypanosomiasis). - This sign is caused by the bite of a **Triatomine bug** (also known as a **kissing bug**) near the eye or by rubbing its feces containing *Trypanosoma cruzi* into the eye. The diplomat's origin from Peru suggests a potential exposure in an endemic region. *Faget sign, Reduvid bug* - **Faget's sign** is a clinical finding where the **pulse rate remains normal or decreases** despite a fever, which is typically found in diseases like **typhoid fever** or **yellow fever**, not associated with a specific insect bite causing periorbital edema. - While Triatomine bugs belong to the **Reduviidae family**, "Reduvid bug" is a broad term, and Faget's sign is unrelated to the described swelling. *Chigger allergy, Trombiculid mites* - **Chigger bites** (from Trombiculid mites) typically cause intensely **itchy, reddish welts or papules**, often in clusters, commonly on ankles, wrists, or waistbands. - They do not typically present as a significant unilateral periorbital edema like Romana sign and are not a cause of Chagas disease. *Eschar, Cimex Lectularis* - An **eschar** is a dark, scab-like lesion that occurs due to necrosis of skin tissue, often seen in conditions like **rickettsial diseases** (e.g., scrub typhus) following a tick or mite bite. - **Cimex Lectularis** refers to **bed bugs**, which cause itchy, erythematous wheals or papules, often in a linear pattern, but do not produce an eschar or Romana sign.
Obstetrics and Gynecology
1 questionsWhich is not correct regarding the contraceptive method being used?
NEET-PG 2017 - Obstetrics and Gynecology NEET-PG Practice Questions and MCQs
Question 261: Which is not correct regarding the contraceptive method being used?
- A. Inner ring can irritate penis
- B. Made of polyurethane
- C. Has lower failure rate than male condom (Correct Answer)
- D. Pregnancy can occur if penis enters between the device and vagina
Explanation: ***Has lower failure rate than male condom*** - The **female condom** (as depicted in the image) generally has a **higher typical use failure rate** than the male condom based on most effectiveness studies. - While male condoms have an 18% typical use failure rate, female condoms have a typical use failure rate of about 21%. *Inner ring can irritate penis* - The flexible, **inner ring** of the female condom, which helps secure it in place against the cervix, can potentially cause **irritation to the penis** during intercourse due to friction. - This is a known concern for some users and their partners. *Made of polyurethane* - Female condoms are traditionally made of **polyurethane**, which is a synthetic rubber suitable for individuals with **latex allergies**, allowing for use with oil-based lubricants. - Newer versions may also be made of **nitrile** or other synthetic materials. *Pregnancy can occur if penis enters between the device and vagina* - If the **penis slips between the outer ring** of the female condom and the vaginal wall, sperm can be deposited directly into the vagina, leading to potential **pregnancy**. - Proper insertion and positioning are crucial to prevent this type of user error.

NEET-PG 2017 - Pediatrics NEET-PG Practice Questions and MCQs
Question 261: A child presents with the ocular findings shown in the image below. Identify the most likely underlying illness:
- A. Tetanus
- B. Measles
- C. Trachoma
- D. Pertussis (Correct Answer)
Explanation: ***Pertussis (Whooping Cough)*** - The image shows **subconjunctival hemorrhage**, which is a **classic complication** of pertussis in children - Pertussis causes severe **paroxysmal coughing fits** that dramatically increase intrathoracic and intravascular pressure - This elevated pressure leads to rupture of conjunctival blood vessels, resulting in subconjunctival hemorrhages and facial petechiae - These hemorrhages are well-recognized **diagnostic clues** for pertussis, especially when accompanied by the characteristic whooping cough - This is a **primary manifestation** of the disease process, not merely an incidental finding *Trachoma* - Trachoma, caused by *Chlamydia trachomatis*, presents with **chronic follicular conjunctivitis** and progressive scarring - Classic features include follicles on upper tarsal conjunctiva, conjunctival scarring, trichiasis, and pannus formation - While it causes conjunctival inflammation, **acute subconjunctival hemorrhage is NOT a typical feature** of trachoma - Trachoma is a chronic, scarring disease rather than an acute hemorrhagic condition *Tetanus* - Tetanus is a neurological disorder characterized by **muscle rigidity** and **spasms**, beginning with trismus (lockjaw) - Ocular manifestations are limited to **risus sardonicus** (facial muscle spasm) and potential ophthalmoplegia - Does NOT cause subconjunctival hemorrhage as a direct manifestation *Measles* - Measles presents with **maculopapular rash**, fever, the three C's (cough, coryza, conjunctivitis), and **Koplik spots** - The conjunctivitis in measles is typically a **bilateral, non-hemorrhagic inflammation** with watery discharge - Does NOT typically cause prominent subconjunctival hemorrhage as shown in the image
