This suppression can lead to uncontrolled growth of B cells, resulting in post transplant lymphoma. B cells are responsible for producing antibodies and are an important part of the immune response. In the context of transplantation, the proliferation of B cells can lead to the development of lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system.

    You have diagnosed a Patient clinically as having SLE and ordered 6 tests out of which 4 tests have come positive and 2 are negative. To determine the probability of SLE at this point, you need to know

    • A.

      Prior probability of SLE, sensitivity and specificity of each test

    • B.

      Incidence of SLE and the predictive value of each test

    • C.

      Incidence and prevalence of SLE

    • D.

      Relative risk of SLE in the patient

    Correct Answer
    A. Prior probability of SLE, sensitivity and specificity of each test
    Explanation
    To determine the probability of SLE in this case, it is important to consider the prior probability of SLE, which is the likelihood of a patient having SLE before any test results are known. Additionally, the sensitivity and specificity of each test are crucial factors in determining the accuracy of the test results. Sensitivity refers to the ability of a test to correctly identify individuals with the condition, while specificity refers to the ability of a test to correctly identify individuals without the condition. These factors, along with the test results, help in calculating the probability of SLE in the patient.

This is a characteristic pattern observed in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with Tuberculous meningitis. The increased protein level is due to the inflammatory response caused by the infection, while the decreased sugar level is a result of the bacteria consuming the glucose in the CSF. The increased lymphocytes indicate an immune response to the infection.

    • C.

      Wait and watch

    • D.

    The correct answer is MDT + steroid. Ulnar neuritis is a common complication in leprosy, especially in borderline tuberculoid leprosy. MDT (multi-drug therapy) is the standard treatment for leprosy, but in severe cases of ulnar neuritis, the addition of steroids is recommended. Steroids help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness. Therefore, combining MDT with steroids is the most appropriate treatment option for severe ulnar neuritis in borderline tuberculoid leprosy.

    • C.

      Vaginal atrophy

    • D.

      Coronary heart disease

    Correct Answer
    D. Coronary heart disease
    Explanation
    HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is a treatment that involves taking hormones to replace the ones that the body no longer produces after menopause. It is useful in managing symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. It is also effective in preventing osteoporosis by maintaining bone density. Additionally, HRT can alleviate symptoms of vaginal atrophy by restoring the thickness and elasticity of the vaginal tissues. However, HRT is not recommended for women with coronary heart disease, as it may increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes. Therefore, HRT is useful in all except coronary heart disease.
