    Study in NEJM was comparison of efficacy and treatment failure of:

    • Amoxyclav and Dicloxacillin

    • Amoxyclav and Placebo

    • Amoxyclav and Ampicillin

    • Amoxyclav and Cefixime

    Correct Answer
    A. Amoxyclav and Placebo
    Explanation
    The study in NEJM compared the efficacy and treatment failure of Amoxyclav and Placebo. This means that the researchers investigated how effective Amoxyclav is in treating a certain condition compared to a placebo. The study likely involved a group of participants who were randomly assigned to either receive Amoxyclav or a placebo, and their outcomes were measured to determine if there was a significant difference in treatment success between the two groups.

    Full form of MIC:

    • Minimum Inhibitory complex

    • Maximum Inhibitory concentration

    • Minimum Inhibitory concentration

    • Minimum instant concentration

    Correct Answer
    A. Minimum Inhibitory concentration
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Minimum Inhibitory concentration." MIC refers to the lowest concentration of a substance (usually an antibiotic) that can inhibit the growth of a microorganism.

    • To evaluate the efficacy & rate of treatment failure in children less than 2 yrears of age, who were suffering from SSTI– NEJM article.

    • To evaluate the efficacy & rate of treatment failure in children less than 2 yrears of age, who were suffering from UTI– NEJM article.

    • To evaluate the efficacy & rate of treatment failure in children less than 2 yrears of age, who were suffering from RTI.

    Correct Answer
    A. To evaluate the efficacy & rate of treatment failure in children less than 2 yrears of age, who were suffering from AOM.
    Explanation
    The objective of the study of Amoxyclav and Placebo - NEJM article is to evaluate the efficacy and rate of treatment failure in children less than 2 years of age who were suffering from Acute Otitis Media (AOM).

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    MIC of cefixime was reduced to _________ after addition of ofloxacin against Salmonella Typhi:

    • .01 mcg/ml

    • .1 mcg/ml

    • .01mg/ml

    • .1 mg/ml

    Correct Answer
    A. .01 mcg/ml
    Explanation
    The MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) of cefixime was reduced to .01 mcg/ml after the addition of ofloxacin against Salmonella Typhi. This means that the combination of cefixime and ofloxacin at this concentration was effective in inhibiting the growth of Salmonella Typhi.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Against E.Coli, the MIC of Ofloxacin was reduced by _______ times after addition of Cefixime & that of Cefixime was reduced by _________times after addition of Ofloxacin.

    • 5 & 2 times

    • 2 & 5 times

    • 2 & 2 times

    • 5 & 5 times

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 & 5 times
    Explanation
    The MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) is the lowest concentration of a drug that inhibits the growth of a particular microorganism. In this case, the question states that the MIC of Ofloxacin was reduced by 2 times after the addition of Cefixime, and the MIC of Cefixime was reduced by 5 times after the addition of Ofloxacin. This means that the combination of Cefixime and Ofloxacin has a synergistic effect against E.Coli, as both drugs individually have a greater impact on the MIC of the other drug when used together.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    _________ is the LRTI highlighted in News Letter of CEFI O.

    • Pneumonia

    • CAP

    • Bronchitis

    • HAP

    Correct Answer
    A. CAP
    Explanation
    The correct answer is CAP, which stands for Community-Acquired Pneumonia. This term refers to pneumonia that is acquired outside of a healthcare setting, such as in the community or at home. It is highlighted in the News Letter of CEFI O, which suggests that it is an important topic or issue being discussed in that context.

    • 70%

    • 100%

    • 90%

    • 80%

    Correct Answer
    A. 80%
    Explanation
    According to the NEJM study of Amoxyclav and Placebo, the symptoms were reduced by 80% with Amoxyclav on Day 8. This indicates that the medication was effective in alleviating the symptoms of the participants in the study, leading to a significant reduction in their overall symptoms.

    Anafortan KOL Series Issue 4- Camylofin was tried on 4 year old patient suffering from:

    • Functional Abdominal pain

    • Functional Abdominal pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

    • Irritable Bowel syndrome

    • Abdominal pain due to Dysmennorhoea

    Correct Answer
    A. Functional Abdominal pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Functional Abdominal pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome because Camylofin is commonly used to treat abdominal pain and cramps associated with conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It helps to relax the smooth muscles in the abdomen, relieving pain and discomfort. Functional Abdominal pain refers to chronic or recurrent abdominal pain without any identifiable cause, and it is often associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Therefore, using Camylofin for a 4-year-old patient with both Functional Abdominal pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome would be an appropriate treatment choice.

    In MIC study of CEFI O, MIC of cefixime against salmonella Typhi was:

    • 0.9 mcg /ml

    • .09 mcg /ml

    • .9 mg/ml

    • .09 mg/ml

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.9 mcg /ml
    Explanation
    The MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) of cefixime against salmonella Typhi was found to be 0.9 mcg/ml. This means that a concentration of 0.9 mcg/ml of cefixime was sufficient to inhibit the growth of salmonella Typhi bacteria.

    Rate this question:

    Against ____________ bacteria causing UTI the MIC of Ofloxacin was reduced by more than 5 times after addition of Cefixime.

    • P aeruginosa

    • E. Coli

    • K. Pneumoniae

    • Salmonella Typhi

    Correct Answer
    A. K. Pneumoniae
    Explanation
    The MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) of Ofloxacin, a type of antibiotic, was reduced by more than 5 times after the addition of Cefixime against K. Pneumoniae bacteria causing UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). This suggests that the combination of Ofloxacin and Cefixime has a synergistic effect in inhibiting the growth of K. Pneumoniae, making it a more effective treatment option for UTIs caused by this specific bacteria.
