Hepatitis B: HBV DNA detected by PCR before or after HBsAg reaches detectable levels?
- A.
After
- B.
Before
Correct Answer
B. BeforeExplanation
HBV DNA can be detected by PCR before HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) reaches detectable levels. This is because HBV DNA is the genetic material of the virus, while HBsAg is a protein on the surface of the virus. During the early stages of infection, the virus replicates and HBV DNA can be detected in the blood before enough HBsAg is produced to be detected by standard tests. Therefore, PCR can be used to detect the presence of HBV DNA before HBsAg becomes detectable.Rate this question:

CD4 count _____/ul patient has clinical AIDS
- A.
300
- B.
100
- C.
200
Correct Answer
C. 200Explanation
A CD4 count of 200/ul indicates that the patient has clinical AIDS. CD4 count is a measure of the number of CD4 T-cells in the blood, which are a type of white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system. A CD4 count below 200/ul is considered a threshold for the diagnosis of AIDS, as it indicates severe immune suppression and an increased risk of opportunistic infections. Therefore, a CD4 count of 200/ul suggests that the patient's immune system is significantly compromised, leading to the diagnosis of clinical AIDS.Rate this question:

COLD
- C.
MIXED
- D.
PCH
Correct Answer(s)
B. COLD
D. PCHExplanation
The major types of AIHA that have a non-reactive eluate are COLD and PCH. COLD stands for Cold Agglutinin Disease, which is characterized by the presence of cold-reactive antibodies that cause red blood cell agglutination and hemolysis at low temperatures. PCH stands for Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria, which is a rare form of AIHA caused by the presence of a specific antibody that binds to red blood cells in cold temperatures and activates complement, leading to hemolysis. In both of these types, the eluate, which is the fluid obtained from washed red blood cells, does not show reactivity when tested with additional red blood cells.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. WARM
C. MIXEDExplanation
Warm and mixed types of AIHA (Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia) show AHG (Anti-Human Globulin) reactivity. AHG reactivity refers to the ability of antibodies to bind to red blood cells and cause their destruction. In warm AIHA, the antibodies are typically IgG and can bind to red blood cells at body temperature. In mixed AIHA, both IgG and complement proteins can bind to red blood cells, leading to their destruction. Cold AIHA, represented by the term "COLD" in the options, is associated with IgM antibodies that agglutinate red blood cells at lower temperatures. PCH (Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria) is a rare type of AIHA caused by the Donath-Landsteiner antibody, which shows biphasic reactivity.Rate this question:

- C.
Non-immune adsorption of proteins
- D.
Induction of autoimmunity
Correct Answer
A. Drug adsorptionExplanation
The correct answer is drug adsorption. This is because the presence of high titer IgG antibodies against penicillin in the serum indicates that the antibodies are binding to the drug, leading to its adsorption. This can occur when the drug binds to proteins in the body, causing an immune response and the production of specific antibodies. The negative screening tests for unexpected antibodies suggest that there are no other antibodies present that could be causing the strong direct antiglobulin test (DAT) result. Therefore, the most likely explanation is that the antibodies are specifically binding to the drug, resulting in drug adsorption.Rate this question:
